Hello,

I often get the Cputime limit exceeded errors from news-related programs. For  
example:

> From: News Subsystem <news>

> Subject: news (urgent): possible expire problems

> 	...using fallback code

This if from the password file:

news:*:8:8:news:0:0:News Subsystem:/:/nonexistent

And this from login.conf:

news:\
        :path=/usr/local/news/bin /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin  
/usr/local/bin /usr/local/sbin:\
        :cputime=infinity:\
        :filesize=128M:\
        :datasize-cur=64M:\
        :stacksize-cur=32M:\
        :coredumpsize-cur=0:\
        :maxmemorysize-cur=128M:\
        :memorylocked=32M:\
        :maxproc=128:\
        :openfiles=256:\
        :tc=default:

I am running xntpd, but at those times there is no internet connection up. I  
thought setting cputime=infinity would solve the problem, but it didn't. I saw  
in the archives that more people had this kind of problem, but I couldn't  
find a solution to it.

The system is cvsupped and built last on June 12. It has otherwise been quite  
stable.

Thanks,
Ben
