I'm running 2.2.6-RELEASE on it; I fetched & built the "inn" port. Here are the complaints: innd: bad_newsfeeds. Must have exactly one ME entry innd: bad_newsfeeds. Must have exactly one ME entry innd: SERVER syntax_error /usr/local/news/lib/newsfeeds innd: SERVER syntax_error /usr/local/news/lib/newsfeeds No, I'm not repeating myself; that is verbatim. (I elided the timestamp & hostname information from each line, since I don't have reason to believe it would be useful for this exercise.) In /usr/local/news/lib: % sed -e 's/#.*//' -e '/^$/d' newsfeeds ME\ :*,!whistle*,!local*,!junk,!control\ /world,usa,na,ba,gnu,bionet,pubnet,u3b,eunet,vmsnet,inet,ddn,k12\ :: uunet\ :/!local,!whistle\ :Tf,Wnm: overview!:*:Tc,WO:/usr/local/news/bin/overchan inncheck says: % bin/inncheck % Either innd is reading some other file, or one of us can't count. :-( (I've tried firing up innd under "ktrace -d", but it desn't seem to be too good about actually tracking the kid processes after an "exec"....) I would appreciate clues....
