Hi, I've run across a bit of an obscure problem. I'm running stock INN 2.3.3 (20020409), compiled from source on a Debian Testing system. Some of the time, for some newsgroups, nnrpd will lose track of which articles exist in a newsgroup. The sequence of commands goes like this: telnet localhost 119 MODE READER GROUP somegroup LIST ACTIVE somegroup XOVER lo-hi LISTGROUP But then, when I issue a HEAD or ARTICLE command for any article, nnrpd returns 423 Bad article number to any request. (Why that particular sequence ? Because that's what trn4 does on entering a newsgroup). The articles come back if I change groups and avoid the LISTGROUP. I think it is data dependent, as I can recreate it if I reset my newsbase to the snapshot I took, so I have put some files up to do with my config at http://www.leverton.org/inn233/ There is a console log of the above telnet session attached to this mail. I have of course rebuilt history and overview (several times :)). I also changed from tradindexed overview to buffindexed with no difference. I originally found this on 2.3.2-debian. The problem didn't show up on INN 1.7.4, which I was running up until about a month ago. I hope this is enough information to start with.
