NNTP SYSLOG with LOG defined. It appears that the logging information does not accurately reflect a session conducted by a remote news reader. For instance, in the following session I read only two articles in comp.sources.wanted and one article in comp.bugs.sys5: Jun 14 10:28:17 voyager nntpd[545]: taurus connect Jun 14 10:28:26 voyager nntpd[545]: taurus group comp.sources.wanted Jun 14 10:28:41 voyager nntpd[545]: taurus group comp.bugs.sys5 Jun 14 10:28:44 voyager nntpd[545]: taurus exit 5 articles 2 groups Jun 14 10:28:45 voyager nntpd[545]: taurus times user 0.310 sys....... What does the articles number(5) reflect? Also, I've observered the behaviour where a long list of groups will be associated with a connection for a news reader when in fact only a couple of groups were read. Does this happen as a result of newgroups being added to the users .newsrc file? What are the conditions in order for a group to be recorded for a session? Any information someone might be able to provide regarding the log information would be very greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. -- Dave Moore dmoore@hou.amoco.com Amoco Corp.

Just a guess, but... if you asked for a list of Subjects for the articles in the newsgroup, it had to open each article to ascertain the subject. -Andy -- Andy Poling Internet: andy@gollum.hcf.jhu.edu UNIX Systems Programmer Bitnet: ANDY@JHUNIX Homewood Academic Computing Voice: (301)338-8096 Johns Hopkins University UUCP: uunet!mimsy!aplcen!jhunix!andy

It means that the user fetched 5 artciles from 2 groups during his/her session. >What are the conditions in order for a group to be recorded for a session? If a newsreader uses the "GROUP" command, it will log that. -- Stan internet: sob@bcm.tmc.edu Director, Networking Olan uucp: rutgers!bcm!sob and Systems Support Barber Opinions expressed are only mine.
