[news.software.nntp] Logging problem with nntp1.5.11

vnend@phoenix.Princeton.EDU (D. W. James) (06/27/91)

I upgraded NNTP on our newsserver a couple of weeks ago.  At first the
logging was fine (everything.)  Then I made a change in conf.h:

241,242c241,242
< #define STAT_FILE     "/usr/local/lib/news/mgdstats"
< #define NGDATE_FILE   "/usr/local/lib/news/groupdates"
---
> # define STAT_FILE    "/usr/lib/news/mgdstats"
> # define NGDATE_FILE  "/usr/lib/news/groupdates"
248c248
< #define ACTIVE_TIMES_FILE     "/usr/local/lib/news/active.times"
---
> # define ACTIVE_TIMES_FILE    "/usr/lib/news/active.times"


Suddenly, my logging was cut to just outgoing connections, summaries and
posts, which makes debugging stuff from some of the more exotic clients
a bear.  I've poked through the code, I can't tell why.  I've had more
experienced programers look at it, they can't tell why.  Has anyone
else run into this, and what is the fix.  I want my complete logs back!!
