[comp.sys.mac.misc] B-news under A/UX 2.0

barker@wd0gol.MN.ORG (Bob Barker) (08/06/90)

I'm baffled.  I'm trying to get B-News running under A/UX 2.0 and am
having no luck.  The same machine ran the same B-News software under
A/UX 1.0 very well.  After the machine was upgraded to 2.0 rnews/inews
processes just hung.  They didn't accumulate CPU time, they just hung.
I recompiled news after the upgrade and nothing changed.  I'm not using
db[mz] if that makes a difference.

I've installed B-News on probably at least 8 different variants of Unix
but I've never seen anything like this problem.  I assume that somebody
has been successful in getting news running on 2.0 - if so, would you
please help me out?  I've got a bunch of people who are getting anxious
to read news again!!!

If anybody has a localize.sh or any patches which make things work, that
would be great!  Any pointers, hints, etc. would also be very much
appreciated.  Also, could somebody tell me if I'm going to have problems
with rn as well.  If I am, what's the solution?

Thanks!

-Bob
