4/23    Soda problem: I don't seem to be able to post to newsgroups
        with trn.  I get:
        cat: /var/lib/news/whoami: No such file or directory
        (re-entering cbreak mode)
        inews: From header: address syntax error

3/11    Why does trn keep crashing?  It seems if I leave trn idle for about
        5 minutes when I try to use it again I get an "unexpected socket
        close" error.  This started maybe 2 months ago.  What's up?
        It's making it difficult to multitask newsgroup reading. -jrleek
        \_ The message means that trn's network connection died.  You could
           try mailing news@agate asking them not to use such an aggressive

5/31    What's up with the NNTP server? I haven't been able to read my
        newsgroups in 2 days.
        \_  I assume agate is among the computers affected by the planned power
            outage.  Can anyone confirm?

1/5     Why aren't newsgroups working?
        \_ because the news server is off/not-accessible.
        \_ power is off in Evans this weekend, maybe the
           news server happens to be in Evans
>agate.berkeley.edu, aka <DEAD>news.berkeley.edu<DEAD>, the USENET news server,

6/11    Is agate down?
        \_ ping agate

6/11    Does anyone know what is wrong with agate? Is there an alternate
        news server?
        \_ its broken?
        \_ someone forgot an apostrophe in a config file?

07/07   who do I email to get a new newsgroup added at agate?
        \_ vadim@eecs.berkeley.edu

11/19   There is a particular alt.books newsgroup I'm looking for
        but it doesn't seem to be on agate. How do I get it added?
        \_ send mail to usenet@agate asking for it.  I've found them
           to be quite responsive.

4/17    Agate appears to have dropped carrying a newsgroup I read (in the soc.*
        hierarchy), or at least is having problems.  Who can I contact to get
        this fixed (or at least find out that it won't be fixed)?
        \_ Agate doesn't support soc.queer.geeks.sexless
           \_ Boy that was weak.  Huh huh huh, you said "fixed" huh huh huh
                \_ The guy is obviously reading a sex group.  It was
