In <BLYMN.92Nov15174625@siren.awadi.com.au>, you write in news.admin.technical:
:After a bit of to and froing between me and the sys ad of our news
:feed we worked out that there was a hung innxmit process on the feed
:machine.  Killing that restarted our news feed...for a while.  The
:newsfeed stopped again and would not run until I had killed innd and
:restarted it on my machine.  Note that the innd was functional during
:this time as it was still servicing nnrp requests.
:
:Both hangs were associated with the
:network between my machine and our newsfeed being down for a while, it
:seems to me that inn is not recovering from a network failure.  Has
:anyone had a similar experience?

Perhaps your network software (and on the remote end, too, since their innxmit
is hanging) is returning some uncommon error code that innd does not
recognize.  Wait for the hang to happen again and try doing a ping or
other network diagnostic between the two hosts.

If your network software returns any kind of error code back from the
read or write syscalls, then innd will notice and take the right action.

I believe that I have Pyramid's have a problem along these lines.
