I've upgraded my news server to Woody (I know - I was on holiday and
busy and things...) following the blurb in
/usr/share/doc/inn2/NEWS.gz.
I'm finding that INN is returning empty replies to requests for lists
in /var/lib/news/, like active and newsgroups. It does however list
stuff in /etc/news like overview.fmt and motd.
Looking in /var/lib/news/, I can see that the files are populated as
I'd expect. I've used ctlinnd to newgroup groups, but nothing more
appears from INN.
INN has half a metric tonne of configuration files, so I'm a bit shy
of posting the lot. Here's a transcript, and what appears in syslog at
the relevant time. I'll happily post any conffiles you think might be
relevant.
