Everything works perfectly except that every once in a while we get the error message inews: : Inbound news is garbled This causes the execution of rnews that was started by uuxqt to take forever (that is, if I don't kill it manually, it will run forever). Last time that I had this problem, I examined the data file (in /usr/spool/uucp/D. directory) that was having problems and couldn't find anything wrong with it. Here's what I did: First I used dd to skip the #! cunbatch line and then I uncompressed it and looked at it in vi. Any ideas what the problem is and how to fix it?
