As I said I haven't been able to reproduce this problem tho I've seen it reported a couple times, but I cloned my existing config so already knew I had to adjust the pointers to point at the new location. For setup of a new instance, I'd have expected a new pan setup to get it right as long as the PAN_HOME variable was set properly. If it's not, if that bit is hard-coded as you say, that's certainly a bug (the more so since it was Charles himself that I got the PAN_HOME hint from, he said it worked, so if it didn't, it's a bug). And that bug may explain the several "pan forgets my newsgroup settings" bugs I've seen reported, but could never duplicate. > (coulda sworn I put a post of that tidbit here or in the devel group, > but cannot find it) If you did, you sufficiently obfuscated it that I didn't recognize the implications, because this is the first I've seen of it, and I follow both groups/lists religiously. Well, either that, or maybe that post didn't make it to gmane, and thus not to me, since that's how I follow the pan lists/groups. But thanks! That potentially clears up /that/ mystery! @ Rick: Are you following this or do I need to break it down a bit (now that I have the new info myself)? -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
