[news.software.nn] Problems installing on a Sun3

gwishon@blackbird.afit.af.mil (Gordon D. Wishon) (02/07/90)

I'm trying to install nn 6.3.6 on a Sun3 running SunOS 3.5.  The instal-
lation seems to go perfectly, but when I execute nn, all I get is:

There are still 33 unread articles in 33 groups.

and nn exits.  The DATA directory shows a large number of (mostly empty)
files, but none have any actual data in them (other than whitespace).  
nnadmin's Status command shows several thousand articles, and 518k in
use.

The environment is nfs, and I've provided the full path name to the machine
which holds our mail.  I have not attempted to share nn across nfs yet,
wishing to get it running on one machine first.

Can anyone point out my (probably obvious) error?
