news v59c various bugs and request for help with .cnf file
mars...@manse.cs.man.ac.uk
1)
If a new group is created and your profile is set to rc-order
(might also need automatic registering) then any new group appears
to have the same name as the last item in the previous newsrc. file.
The new group is inaccessible - I ended up with 15 copies of
the last group in newsrc. in my <all> display!
In order to sort things out I had to
edit the newsrc. file removing the duplicate groups and the rc-order
and re-enter news
2)
In our news setup, all groups (apart from local ones) are set /nokeeprequest
If a set newsgroup command is invoked then the value of this flag
is set back to keep.
I have to remember to specify /nokeeprequest any time I modify a group.
I assume that this is not desirable behaviour?
3)
Whilst trying to get this message right, it seems that cancel sometimes
corrupts the display and I ended up with a screen of half newsitems titles
and half newsgroup titles, instead of just newsitem titles.
Wouldn't go away with a ctrl-w.
Also---
Does anyone use the inet% addressing protocol with CMU tcpip in the
news_address.cnf file?
When there is a match on:
*@cs.man.ac.uk ""inet%"\001@m1"
(e.g us...@cs.man.ac.uk) mail appears to be sending to inet%inet%"user@m1"
(Might be missing some "s in the above)
What am I doing wrong?
Robert
