Date: 13 Nov 1994 16:21:12 GMT Organization: B.E.T.A. Mountain, Framingham, MA Lines: 23 Message-ID: <3a5edo$8v1@sundog.tiac.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: spoon.beta.com Ok. Heres probably a very simple one for you news gurus out there.... I have three systems. An applications server (apps1), holding the code for NNTP, and trn. These directories are exported to the system that has my news spool (news1), and my user system (user1). When I run trn on news1, everything works wonderfully, I can read news, post, etc. When I run trn on user1, trn aboats with a broken socket, and complaining that I don't have access to the news server. In /usr/lib/news/nntp_access (on news1, readable by world), I added a line: *.beta.com both post According to the documentation, this should work fine. I've also fiddled with the AUTH define, which just makes it hang up. The sources I used are stock from the ports directory on freebsd.cdrom.com Any ideas are welcome -Brian
