Well, someone advised I use ksh and do a ulimit -d unlimited first. Did
this and the command ran fine. I assume the the history file is of zero
size at the present and that the command completed successfully. If what
is below does not seem correct please advise... otherwise I can move
forward and start to set up some feeds (well as soon as my Cycbuffs have
been made via all those lovely dd commands)....
$makedbz -i
$ls -l
-rw-r--r-- 1 news news 0 Oct 8 12:09 history
-rw-r--r-- 1 news news 43 Oct 8 15:16 history.n.dir
-rw-r--r-- 1 news news 0 Oct 8 15:16 history.n.hash
-rw-r--r-- 1 news news 0 Oct 8 15:16 history.n.index
regards,
Adam.
