[Dxspider-support] baddx, badspotter and badnode ?

I have no idea what can be wrong Dirk. I have just done the exact same test at
oz5dig-7, which have always been updated using cvslatest.tgz, and the result was 
exactly the same.

The is before I used any of the set/badxxx commands:

sysop at oz5dig:/spider/data > ls -l bad*
-rw-rw-r--   1 sysop    spider        410 May 12 08:55 badw_regex
-rw-r--r--   1 sysop    spider        235 Oct 19  2001 badw_regex.es.issue
-rw-r--r--   1 sysop    spider        392 Oct 19  2001 badw_regex.gb.issue
-rw-rw-r--   1 sysop    spider       2351 May 12 08:49 badword
-rw-r--r--   1 sysop    spider       2546 Oct  4  2001 badword.issue
sysop at oz5dig:/spider/data >

Now first I did a "set/baddx" oz1lqh, then a "set/badspotter xx0xx" and then a 
"set/badnode yy0yy" and this is the what it looks like afterwards:

sysop at oz5dig:/spider/data > ls -l bad*
-rw-rw-r--   1 sysop    users         111 Jun 28 04:22 baddx
-rw-rw-r--   1 sysop    spider        410 May 12 08:55 badw_regex
-rw-r--r--   1 sysop    spider        235 Oct 19  2001 badw_regex.es.issue
-rw-r--r--   1 sysop    spider        392 Oct 19  2001 badw_regex.gb.issue
-rw-rw-r--   1 sysop    spider       2351 May 12 08:49 badword
-rw-r--r--   1 sysop    spider       2546 Oct  4  2001 badword.issue
sysop at oz5dig:/spider/data >

As you can see there is only a baddx file, and no badspotter or badnode file.

Both xx0xx and yy0yy has been written to the baddx file, and the reply to the 
"set/badnode yy0yy" was also "yy0yy added to baddx".

Now I have two systems doing the exact same thing, and you have a lot of systems not 
doing this :-) I will just create the files manually and then carry on.
