[description of .jnewsrc snipped] I've tried fiddling with .jnewsrc, but that doesn't seem to be the problem. I retrieve news with slrnpull, which retrieves articles and updates .jnewsrc accordingly. This has worked properly both before and after my problem began. I read the articles at my leisure using slrn, which shouldn't be going anywhere near a server; I have the following lines in .slrnrc: set server_object "spool" set post-object "slrnpull" set use_slrnpull 1 I'm trying to figure out why slrn is saying "Server read failed" when I've told it not to access a server. >> Oh well, I've been meaning to upgrade my laptop to Bullseye - >> maybe it's time to nuke slrn and re-install it from scratch. > > you can uninstall it but that may not clear up the spool for > the groups, so you'd need to see if that actually works or not. Again, my issue is not with the spool, but why slrn seems to be trying to bypass it and access the server directly. Unless that "server read failed" message is a red herring... -- cgi...@surfnaked.ca (Charlie Gibbs)
