| Subject: (5.10) Why do all these "readclose" messages show up in my syslog? |
|---|
Chris Schmidt <cs@germany.eu.net> says: The "readclose" message indicates that a remote connection to your server was not correctly terminated with the server-command "quit". This can have two reasons. First the line your feed uses to connect to you might be instable so that the connection drops every now and then. Solution: either ignore theses messages or find out why the line is unstable. The second reason for these messages could be a missconfigured client-program at your feed. This means the program (e.g nntplink) does close the connection without sending the "quit" first. If you configure a lower number for the exit-timeout (-e) than the close-timeout (-C) in nntplink then exactly this will happen. Solution: ask your feed to fix its nntplink-setup. Let me repeat that: If you are using "nntplink" your -e value must be higher than your -C value. ------------------------------ [Last Changed: $Date: 1997/09/16 01:25:56 $ $Revision: 2.25 $] [Copyright: 1997 Heiko Rupp, portions by Tom Limoncelli, Rich Salz, et al.] |
