I have a problem with nn6.4.16 running under sunOS 4.1.2 and I'm not  
sure where to look for solutions.  Our server is used only to get  
articles; the database is local to the other department (with the  
problem nn).  In the log files nnadmin reports things like the  
following:

C: Dec 16 17:25 (M): Collect: 114 art, 89 gr, 88 s
N: Dec 16 17:37 (M): Lost connection to server sifon.CC.McGill.CA: No  
such file or directory
C: Dec 16 17:37 (M): Collect: 136 art, 85 gr, 106 s
N: Dec 16 17:48 (M): Lost connection to server sifon.CC.McGill.CA: No  
such file or directory
C: Dec 16 17:48 (M): Collect: 164 art, 118 gr, 100 s
N: Dec 16 17:59 (M): Lost connection to server sifon.CC.McGill.CA: No  
such file or directory
C: Dec 16 17:59 (M): Collect: 113 art, 69 gr, 57 s
N: Dec 16 18:11 (M): Lost connection to server sifon.CC.McGill.CA: No  
such file or directory
C: Dec 16 18:11 (M): Collect: 100 art, 82 gr, 83 s
N: Dec 16 18:23 (M): Lost connection to server sifon.CC.McGill.CA: No  
such file or directory
C: Dec 16 18:23 (M): Collect: 197 art, 142 gr, 125 s
C: Dec 16 18:32 (M): Collect: 11 art, 10 gr, 4 s


Why is it saying "no such file or directory"?  I had a look through the
FAQ but didn't see anything obvious.  I don't think that this is a  
problem with connectivity and I don't maintain the server, sifon, but
am told that things are ok on it.  Indeed my nn client (which NFS's the  
database doesn't have any problems.)

Is there any way to get more info about that error.  I am willing to
dig in the src if necessary.

Any hints or suggestions appreciated.  Please send email to:

Thanks,
	david
