Mailtool configuration was the cause. It won't be the last embarrassment. I use Novel GroupWise5.5 for a mail tool (company mandate) and it is severely brain-damaged IMHO. I now have the mailing list address correctly recorded. Problem 1 is cured. Problem 2 remains. Brian Brunner brian.t.brunner@gai-tronics.com (610)796-5838 >>> "Brian T. Brunner" 11/07/03 09:15AM >>> More pressing problem: I run shrike (RH9, linux kernel 2.4.20-8), and attempt to automount a thumb drive (Kanguru Microdrive 128MB) that lsusb says is 0d7d/0120 Apacer. Currently I poll using system("grep -q usb-storage /proc/bus/usb/devices)". This works as expected the first time. I then mount() and system("cat bigfile | bzip2 > /mnt/thumbdrive/smallfile") to compress bigfile onto the thumbdrive. Then I umount(). This all works fine the first time, sometimes second. By time the 5th attempt is made, /var/log/messages begins to get "kernel: usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout" messages, and "time lsusb" takes 15 seconds to run. The file copy take proportionately longer, but completes. What part of 'TFM' should I 'R'?
