Hi all, Please Help. We are running NEWS B v2.11.19 on an Ultrix station running 4.2 BSD and NNTP v1.5, using NNTPXMIT to receive news and send news to VMS machines at our other sites. A few weeks ago we re-installed NEWS and NNTP, so that instead of: (in NEWS/src/Makefile) LIBDIR=/usr/new/lib/news node /dev/rz1g SPOOLDIR=/usr/spool/news BATCHDIR=/usr/spool/batch (and in NNTP/common/conf.h) #define ACTIVE_FILE "/usr/new/lib/news/active" #define DISTRIBUTIONS_FILE "/usr/new/lib/news/distributions" #define HISTORY_FILE "/usr/new/lib/news/history" etc. we re-defined in NEWS: LIBDIR=/usr/local/lib/news node /dev/rz2g SPOOLDIR=/var/spool/news node /dev/rz0c BATCHDIR=/var/spool/batch node /dev/rz0c and similarly, files in NNTP were defined to be installed in /usr/local/lib/news/... (including HISTORY_FILE) Now, we are still receiving news and sending to our other sites, BUT, copious log information is still going to the old places: ie /usr/new/lib/news/LOG and /usr/new/lib/news/ERRLOG, instead of to the new directory /usr/local/lib/news. Also, the history file and sys file are still active in the old directory. However, it does access nntp_access, nntpxmit in the new directory I have defined SYSLOG and LOG in NNTP/common/conf.h and we are getting SYSLOG information in /etc/SYSLOG where we should. (we have syslog()) But how do I re-direct ERRLOG, LOG, SYS, HISTORY to the new directory?????? Any suggestions welcome. Margaret.
