Newsgroups: alt.sys.amiga.uucp
This is an article from alt/sys/amiga/uucp,
forwarded by Ronald Elliott <ronell@caron.ati.com>.

------------- beginning of forwarded article -------------

Basically what happens is I start up Arn, and one of two things happens.
Most of the time Arn displays all newsgroups containing unread articles -
displaying 0 new, x unread, and x total.  Sometimes (after polling) it'll
display xx new, yy unread, yy total.  I select a group, Arn tells me it's
creating a database, spins the HD for a minute or so, and then pops back
with an "empty newsgroup" prompt, even when it says there are new articles.

If someone could help me out with this, I'd very much appreciate it.

Thanks!

This happened to me on a couple of occasions and I found that it was
usually some discrepency between my .grouplist and either my active file or
newsgroups file. For some reason, if they don't match Arn goes beserker!

One of the occasions it happened, the grouplist got corrupted when I exited
Arn while arnmaster was updating. Take a look, it may be in that area.

  I am using an old GVP Impact controller.  (Not a series II.)  It's old
enough that the manual even mentions needing the AutoBoot ROMS to autoboot
under 1.3.  Does it need a ROM update?  Do they Have ROM updates?

I am successfully using DUUCP's dcron at work on my A3000 under 2.04 - no 
problems at all.  (I don't have UUCP running there - just dcron)

I'm KOTS (at least, of the port I did :-).

No, I don't know where the latest version is.  I've talked to half a
dozen people in the last couple months whom I've subsequently sent CNews 
patches/fixes to, each telling me that they'd let me know which ftp
site they put it on.  So far, I haven't heard from any of them.  I
think I'll dig through my mail folders and send out some email in the
next day or two. ;-)

> John Meissen  | john@becca.rain.com 

There are two other ports that I know of.  One is German-based, and
I'm told it's pretty good, although 2.0-specific.  The other is
currently being worked on (a re-port from the latest source using GCC
instead of Manx).

okay, i have spent some money scouring the following sites for the patched

amiga.physik.unizh.ch
ftp.luth.se
hubcap.clemson.edu
litamiga.epfl.ch
nic.funet.fi

i am getting frustrated again because i decided i would decrease my zany
stack size to 4096 from 100000 and guess what???  i just started getting
those phantom bad block erors again.  can you believe it?

i was a little slow in typing in 'status' afetr i canceled the requestor,
but i think it threw up this error when running uuxqt and rnews.  does this
jive?  could it be my standard version of rnews creating these probs?

i am still running the 1.16 versions of rnews and uuxqt.  do you think i
need to get patched ones for both or what?  WHO HAS THESE AND CAN HELP ME
GET MY HANDS ON THEM?

btw, it was OBVIOUS that trimnews was NOT running when the errors popped
up.  possible i have been looking for the problem in the wrong place, eh?
:)

hope some expert out there can helk me.

Still awaiting my promised new Fish disc... sigh.  BBS files are also

cryo.rain.com is back up.. it's called "sysadmin stupidity".  When I
switched from UUCP to SMTP, I neglected to add bms_in and bms_err to

Let's see.

ArnMaster creates databases, that's right. It uses information about (new)
articles from ACTIVEFILE and ACTIVEFILE.bak (which is always the active-file
from Arnmasters latest scan, so it can recognize new articles).
ArnMaster should be run before you start Arn or each time you get new articles
(ArnDaemon or cron can be used for this purpose). If UULIB:active.bak is identical
to UULIB:active (in your case), ArnMaster doesn't scan. Delete UULIB:active.bak
or use "ArnMaster -C" which forces ArnMaster to check all articles.

ArnMaster requires a configuration-file (UULIB:.arnmasterrc) unless you
use a ".arnrc" in the UULIB: directory (in this case you can put all
entries for ArnMaster into this file).

First of all, you must be sure that a correct ACTIVE-file is used.
But if Arn displays groups it seems to be found. The initial active-file
must be set up by you!!

Obviously, ArnMaster isn't able to find the newsgroups or to write down the
databases. Maybe you can use "ArnMaster -d" or snoopdos for more
information.

> If someone could help me out with this, I'd very much appreciate it.

Feel free to mail me (some mails have been lost in the last two weeks,
sorry, problem at host should be fixed now).

Your config-files seem to be correct at a first glance.

> ACTIVEFILE   UULIB:active
> UPDATEACTIVE Yes
> ARNMASTERLOG uuspool:ArnMasterLog

What says the logfile if ArnMaster was started?

	If you are using Amiga UUCP 1.16 without C-News I built my
own Newsgate program for DUUCP1.16 which works just fine on my
system.  I port News to mail all the time.  I posted my version of
Newsgate a few weeks back.  There is another version of Newsgate
which is only for C-News though.  I have been using my version of
Newsgate to port the comp.sys.amiga.announce newsgroup to mail and
have been doing so for quite a few months already.

You should dequeue your link to them and re-register. I would guess that you
must have had a non-direct RETPATH specified to them.

Bill recently had a change in his mail forwarder, but if you specified only
cryo.rain.com, then you shouldn't have had a problem. Although, he was down
for over a week I believe. That could have caused your bounces.

Just use the version command: "version <drivename>"  in the CLI, i.e.
"version DH0:"  If it reports something like "fs 37.26" you are running
the ROM'ed OS2.04-FS. To find out if it is OFS or FFS, just use the "info"
pulldown-menu (or rAmiga-'i'), if the blocksize is 488, it is OFS, if
the blocksize is 512, it is FFS.

I'm not aware of any non-commercial implementation, but Commodore's TCP/IP
packages includes an NFS client.  It works well....I even have *.info files
sprouting up on my UNIX file systems....a manager uses it to connect his
Amiga to the network.
