The system is an i386, dx2 66mhz with : 32mb of ram, 2x4.5gb hard disks. I have loaded all the BSDI patches. My newsfeed is a little behind, but if no one else has answered it.... You need to add a "ulimit -d 32767" to the rc.news and news.daily scripts. Depending on your shell you may need "limit datasize 32767" instead. The first is (k)sh, the second csh. The problem is the default data size for a process is 16 MB, and innd wants a little more. -- David Miller Usual disclaimers apply
