[news.software.nntp] Loosing Connections ???

mcgee@cse.uta.edu (Robert M. McGee) (05/24/91)

Our remote news readers are having problems. Immediately after they
post a message they loose their connection with the news server. Their
message does go through. We have just upgraded to nntp 1.5.11 from
1.5.9. The XFER_TIMEOUT is set for 30 min, and TIMEOUT is set for 2
hours (defined in conf.h). We have seen timeout messages in our syslog, 
but no transfer_timeouts. The server is a Microvax running Ultrix. We have
heard that this has been a problem in the past and there are fixes
floating around. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks...
