I had the same problem when I installed INN. Bryan Vold was kind enough
to send me a fix. I have enclosed most of Brian's message below. Let me
know if you have problems applying the fix and I'll send my nntpsend files
as a starting point.
Good luck,
Dana
-----Begin Brian's message-----
What we did to fix it (and it works), is to split NNTPSEND into two files.
1. Starting at about line 245 (the line that starts sh -c ` , take everything
up to the ` & at about 275 (or 276) and put it in another file called
nntpextra.
2. Comment out all those lines you put into nntpextra, including the sh -c `
and ` & at the end (or delete them, I would make a backup of this file,
just in case...
3. Insert the command:
nntpextra &
right above the sh -c ` line that you just commented out.
4. Edit the nntpextra program to be a shell script (delete the sh -c ` from
the beginning, and the ` & from the end, and insert:
!#/bin/sh
at the beginning.
5. Make sure you install these. This may have to be done by hand.
That should be it. If you need more help, mail me, and I can send you my
files. Works fine after we did the above.
If you want the same functionality as the original, leave the sleep 5 alone.
