Hi all,

Is anyone still taking a feed from the NG's on
news.ecomstation.dk? I've just started because they host a few
OS/2-type lists that I haven't found elsewhere. I'm using
leafnode on a FreeBSD box and get the below error message from
leafnode:

==========================
check_date: news.ecomstation.dk: clocks of upstream and this
computer are more than
10 minutes apart. Check your system clock.

==========================

My clocks are OK so I was wondering whether anyone knows who
maintains this server? I've sent mails to
hostm...@ecomstation.dk (no reply) and w...@fx.dk (routed to
their spam user whose mailbox is full!) since FX Communications
seem to run that site.

It's not urgent since I can still get the feed, it just generates
this error message whenever I connect :(

Regards,

The time as reported by the NNTP server is an hour out. It should be
reporting UTC/GMT, but isn't.

Looks good to me now.

Sorry, been away for a while Allan but leafnode is now happy, no
more errors. Thanks for fixing this and thanks to Paul for
identifying the problem.

Cheers,

Simon.
