Hi, if you run the latest version of dnews on freebsd 4, then it may
lock up, with dmulti you will see errors like this:
> 8 20:21:22 :error: file: Resource temporarily unavailable
> 8 20:21:23 :error: Waiting on slave on chan 1, 27/190
> 8 20:21:23 :error: nntp: Socket reported EAGAIN , trying to continue
> 8 20:21:23 :error: file: Resource temporarily unavailable
This occurs because the dns lookups on freebsd 4 fail and never return when
the threading library is linked in, we are still investigating a real
solution for this
but in the meantime your options are:
1) Use the non threading freebsd build (just turning of thread_in true is
not enough)
or 2) Add to dnews.conf
nodns true
And modify access.conf to use ip numbers to control access.
