Current 2.3 under Solaris 7/x86 ...

[The Hermit Hacker]

Morning all ...

	Just finished upgrading my 2.3 server to, like, yesterdays code
and am still seeing the nnrpd core dump when someone connects from an
external site.  I recompiled with debugging enabled, so that I could give
*some* results, so here goes.

readers.conf is (which I believe should be okay now?):

====================================
auth "internal" {
        hosts: "*.acadiau.ca,131.162.*"
        default: "unknown at acadiau.ca"
}
auth "external" {
        hosts: "*"
        auth: "radius -f /news/admin/etc/radius.conf"
}
access "default" {
        users: "*"
        newsgroups: "*"
        access: "Read Post"
}
====================================

There is no member named pathhost.
(gdb) print inn_version_string
$2 = "INN 2.4.0 (20000613 CVS prerelease)"
(gdb) print PERMcanpost
$3 = 1


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

and pathhost is set in my inn.conf file:

poseidon:/news/admin> grep pathhost etc/inn.conf
pathhost:               acadiau.ca

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

Thoughts?
