innd doesn't start because can't bind "RCreader"

innd doesn't start because can't bind "RCreader"

Post by Mike Brid » Wed, 05 Feb 1997 04:00:00



Hi-

I'm having some problems getting INN 1.4 to start.  When I try to
start innd, I get the following syslog entry, which I can't find in
any documentation:

Feb  3 14:19:49 copernic innd: ME cant bind RCreader Address already
in use

What does this mean exactly?

Thanks for any help,

-Mike

This means that something is already using the NNTP port (119?).  Do
you perhaps have innd listed in /etc/inetd.conf?  Are you starting
innd as root (you must be root to bind to ports < 1024)?

1. Why doesn't echo "text" 'command' "more text" work?

                 ^                                        ^
Wrong quotes, should be -
   echo "You have" `grep Subject: /usr/spool/mail/me | wc -l` "messages."
or -
   echo "You have `grep Subject: /usr/spool/mail/me | wc -l` messages."

But, another problem is, if you've no mail, /usr/spool/mail/me does not
exist, leading grep to say:
   grep: can't open /usr/spool/mail/me
Wc will still report 0.

You might try -
   sh -c 'echo "You have `grep 2>/dev/null Subject: /usr/spool/mail/me | wc -l` messages."'

Hope this helps.
