Hi John,
news@news:/var/lib/news$ /usr/lib/news/bin/ovdb_init
ovdb_init: OVDB: can not open database unless ovdb_monitor is running
Upon investigating things further, I noticed that /etc/news/inn.conf listed
pathrun as /run/news, which doesn't exist.
Wouldn't it help if the current log message mentioned the culprit filename?
if(errno == ENOENT)
warn("OVDB: can not open database unless ovdb_monitor is running");
=> warn("OVDB: can not open database unless ovdb_monitor is running; %s
not found", lockfn);
where lockfn is set to concatpath(innconf->pathrun, OVDB_LOCKFN).
