This probably is an old problem, but... I am running NNTP 1.5, patch #3 (I think) and find that /etc/nntpd keeps dumping core. ADB reports that it happens in ihave(), most likely when ihave() is trying to return after a "Got it". The stack seems trashed. (On a VAX 11/750 running MtXinu 4.3BSD, not the latest rev.) Any clues, fixes ? Please respond by email. Thanks. Cheers, Dan Ts'o 212-570-7671 Dept.

A possible solution: Check that both your news software and your NNTP software is linked with the same type of DBM support, i.e, both -ldbm or both NDBM. I had this sort of trouble when I first installed NNTP. It caused the sort of coredumps you describe. NNTP's supplied conf.h uses NDBM; the supplied defs.h in the news software uses DBM. --Karl
