I think NNTP has problems today.

Hi,

I see the nntp side has no new posts today, and I see some on the web side. The “12.3 with raid10”, for instance, is missing.

But:

I tested with two different clients, via leafnode and direct. No articles - save one on the scripting forum, sent via nntp by flymail - thus the nntp server is working, but the gateway is not.

Besides this, one of the two nntp servers is not accepting connections since yesterday afternoon (timestamps are UTC+2):

Prior to that time, my logs show it working:

nntp is working again, but all the posts made during this period are lost. I only see new post made since about 15:00 UTC. For instance, I do not see my own post above.

There was a glitch on one of the NNTP servers, and a few of our groups
went through that one instead of nntp.opensuse.org. Should be fixed now,
but those other messages won’t come through, most likely.
