INN FAQ syslog: nntpd[13]: cant open ...../subscriptions ...

INN FAQ Part 5

NOTE: The maintainers of the INN FAQ stopped publishing in December 1997.
An important update to this topic is provided by Mib Software in the Usenet RKT for Subscribers.

Subject: (5.31) syslog: nntpd[13]: cant open ...../subscriptions ...
This is a new option in unoff4. First look if _PATH_NNRPSUBS is correctly set. If yes, then just fill it with information ... . The subscriptions file contains what the NNTP "LIST SUBSCRIPTIONS" command returns. Some newsreaders, such as tin, use this command to get a default set of groups that people are subscribed to if they do not have a .newsrc. If you don't want to use it, there are no side-effects that I know of beyond the messages in your log. ------------------------------ [Source: INN FAQ Part 5 Archive-name: usenet/software/inn-faq/part5] [Last Changed: $Date: 1997/09/16 01:25:56 $ $Revision: 2.25 $] [Copyright: 1997 Heiko Rupp, portions by Tom Limoncelli, Rich Salz, et al.]
