       Hello Matt!              03 Nov 16 22:09, you wrote to me:               MB> When I started trying to setup jamnntpd here I noticed that when        MB> posting messages it would corrupt a message base or not see all the        MB> messages.

DING!!              Well you have spilled the beans as it were.. I've been digging through that       circular bug mess on this exact issue..              That is what I think the issue is with the DEB's... they may compile, so       Launchpad just takes it as GOOD TO GO! Problem is that if you run it on *64b*       corruption due to exactly waht you said... be it CM II or JamNNTPd...              THIS is EXACTLY why I asked... I had the ace up my sleeve the whole time! :) ;)              So is the V1.3 code at the SF stuff *correct* for *64b* operation or no one       knows as for some reason every one is using 32b??? And the only other working       server user seems to be using OS/2 ... although his bug patch was added to the       V1.3 code on 9/10/16.....              I don't know but I have a hunch that if any one is running this on Linux they       are using 32b for it for some reason.. maybe thats all the hardware they have       for a spare... don't know...              BUT..              Again, this is why I asked, I want to use JamNNTPd to do some things.. but not       CORRUPT of the Jam base with something that has the same issue..              So where is this -m32 option used????              in other words this:              sudo make -m32 linux (think thats lised in the compile it note) or some other       edit???                     Seems there IS a *magic golden* code base for JamNNTPd as well!                     Rick                     --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20160322        * Origin: Vina's Talos Moon Base Alpha (1:135/377)    |
