Then I suspect leafnode's NNTP server is creating the lock files. They are created to prevent two or more instances of leafnode or especially fetchnews from being started, which would effectively destroy your spool. IOW, making the lock files "go away" is a Bad Thing(tm). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE4gUB/gl+vIlSVSNkRAqj/AJ9MExhS0RL56fa1HpMMuY8evhmBCwCg7WC0 kiz9SY4tX/wR2nu2OA9AqJI= =KAXL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Rat \ When not in use, Happy Fun Ball should be Minion of Nathan - Nathan says Hi! \ returned to its special container and PGP Key: at a key server near you! \ kept under refrigeration.
