As of 2 days ago (May 5, 1991), when I connect to my usual nntp server
using "telnet hostname 119", if I type "group junk", it closes the
connection with "connection closed by foreign host". "junk" is the only
newsgroup for which this happens. Also, "newnews junk 910505 000000"
works fine.
When I check on the nntp server in the spool directory, the lib/sys,
lib/active, and lib/history files, nothing has changed in terms of junk
still being an active newsgroup. The nntp_access file is also unchanged.
The nntp server is running nntp 1.5, dated 26 Feb 88. It is a Sun3/110
running SunOS 4.0.3. All the news files are on a SCSI drive local to
that machine.
Anyone have any clues why this is happening?
If you post a reply, please also send me a copy by email, as our news
is not very reliable and we seem to miss articles here and there.
