I just recently set up NNTP support for another machine across the hall.
At the same time, I added a feed off my machine. At the present time,
I don't know who to blame, but I suspect NNTP:
The following shows up on the console log to greet me in the
morning:
Oct 27 03:38:18 bnr-fos nntpd[2526]: /usr/new/lib/news/inews: inews: No title, n
g from news@bnr-fos.UUCP (news)
Oct 27 03:38:19 bnr-fos nntpd[2526]: spawn: /usr/new/lib/news/inews exit status
1
A similar note follows, in the news directory errlog:
Oct 27 03:38 <150@bnr-fos.UUCP> inews: No title, ng from news@bnr-fos.U
UCP (news)
The only thing that I KNOW of that's going on in the wee hours is cleaning
up of the logfiles (i.e. mv -f log log.1, etc). That goes off at 3:30 am,
so I'm close. I can't figure out why nntp is posting something to an
unspecified newsgroup. I found the lines it's complaining about: in
inews.c (not the NNTP inews server):
if (mode != CREATENG) {
if (!*header.title)
error("No title, ng %s from %s", header.nbuf,
header.from);
if (!*header.nbuf)
(void) strcpy(header.nbuf, DFLTNG);
}
Any ideas? I'm hoping this is one of those "you silly dummy, you should
..." problems that would be solved if I just RTFMed a little more closely.
It doesn't seem to be BREAKING anything serious, just my nerves :-)
Thanks for your time...
