Hi All, I found the following: my delegated has to 'proxy' 4 nntp servers to our users. Everything works fine, but after a certain time, we get "News server responded: LIST not available temporarily" messages in our newsreaders (ns collabra). When I try to telnet on to the affected delegate port, the greating string was something like this: "cache only NNTP server...". This is not Delegate's normal greeting, I think. Ok, I try to delete the cache, because it was very large (nntp caches are always large:)). It still doesn't work. As a final attempt, I do 'killall -HUP delegated', thus I restarted delegate. And things started to work again!!!! I don't know if it is a bug, or it is normal behaviour of delegate..... But if it's normal, I think there should be something directive when to restart delegate! When comes next delegate? bye, SOLI
