I'm getting some rather weird `uucp request' message from my deamons: From: uucp (Uucp Administrator) Message-Id: <9003020445.AA20224@fts1.UUCP> Subject: uucp requests news atronx atronxN4bc6 (3/1-2:53:39,15372,0) REQUEST (fts1!D.fts13f77067 --> atronx!D.fts13f770N4bc6 (3/1-2:59:34,15372,1) REQUEST (fts1!D.atron4bc6ea1 --> atronx!X.atronxN4bc6 (news)) news atronx atronxN4bd5 (3/1-7:06:22,17442,26) REQUEST (fts1!D.fts13faa46b --> atronx!D.fts13faa46b d5 (3/1-7:07:13,17442,27) REQUEST (fts1!D.atron4bd546b --> atronx!X.atronxN4bd5 (news)) I get these now and then, caused by different connections... It would appear that these are the result of one process writing to the log file at the same time as another process, however, the two processes (15372 and 17442) are the same. The number following the process number (0 and 1, 26 and 27) is different. I don't know what the last part means... [late addition: the number is the request number in that session. It seems to start at 0 and continue up...] I can see why the log cleaner sees this stuff when it analyses the logfile, but I don't know why this should happen in the first place. Upon further inspection since I wrote the last paragraph, it appears that the only reason that I am seeing these requests is because they have a '/' following the word REQUEST, and so match the pattern 'REQUEST.*/' used in a grep command in uudemon.cleanup. There are a number of other entries that are munged but that don't fit the pattern. We are running Interactive 386/ix which is SVR3.2 and has HDB. Does this sound like a bug? :-) -- :!mcr!: Michael C.
