We are using 2.1.0R FBSD with INN for a 5,000 group feed without trouble. Everytime I have seen the symlink error, the history file was out of sync. Make certain makehistory completes without error and that the new file is written to /usr/local/news/lib/history ( the default is something else). Also make certain you provide ~75MB of tmp file space using 'makehistory -o -T /news2/tmp' On Mon, 8 Jan 1996, Jaye Mathisen wrote: > > I'm using INN1.4sec with the unofficial patches from psu (level 2).
