That is the whole point of alt.hackers. If you aren't enough of a

I have Fillm and Enqlm set to 100 here.  Your settings for WSdef and
WSquo don't make any sense. WSquo should be larger than WSdef.  I have
the memory parameters set to WSdef=500, WSquo=1000, WSextent=3000. I
am thinking about increasing WSextent.  This is on a mV II.

Not quite.  When the NNTP server receives an article from your feed
site, it doesn't add it to the local database directly, it puts it in
a file called NNTP_*.BATCH.  You will need to run a periodic batch job
that will add these files to the local database using the command:

NEWS> ADD FILE/DELETE NEWS_MANAGER:NNTP_*.BATCH;*

When local users post articles, NEWS doesn't automatically send them
to your feed site.  Instead it looks in the NEWS.SYS file and puts
the artilce id for the article in the file specified in the fourth
field of each system's entry (for nntp feeds).  Your periodic batch
job will need to use these files as input to the NNTP_XMIT program
which will actually send them to your feed site for distribution to
the rest of usenet.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Thanks for your advice.  I found another problem as well: there were over 
30,000 items in the junk group - I suspect left over from when I was testing.
I recently reset the group to expire items after 2 days, and I think that

That depends on what you are trying to accomplish.  Normally, articles
are only added to the groups that occur in the Newsgroups: header.
There are only two ways that I can think of that they might not end up
in the appropriate group to begin with. First, they might have been
put in the junk group because the group they were posted to didn't
exist. After the group gets created, you might want to move the
articles from the junk group to the newly created group. Just do:

NEWS> ADD FILE/RETRY NEWS_DEVICE:[JUNK]*.itm

and the articles will be moved to the new group.

The other case where the artilces might be moved is when a group is
being renamed.  First, create an alias, changing the old group name to
the new group name:

NEWS> ADD ALIAS old.group.name new.group.name

Then use add file to move the articles:

NEWS> ADD FILE/RETRY NEWS_DEVICE:[old.group.name]*.itm

If the article numbers are fairly small, you might want to do:

NEWS> ADD FILE/RETRY NEWS_DEVICE:[old.group.name]%.itm
NEWS> ADD FILE/RETRY NEWS_DEVICE:[old.group.name]%%.itm
NEWS> ADD FILE/RETRY NEWS_DEVICE:[old.group.name]%%%.itm

To keep the articles in their original order.

The standard V6.0-3 release includes REBUILD_ITEM_FILE.C which should
do what you want. I would recommend that you upgrade to at least
V6.0-3. I am not completely sure if the rebuild program will work with
a V6.0 database. Some of the fields in NEWS.ITEMS may have changed
between V6.0 and V6.0-3.

Give your users a LOT of real memory (working set) or forget about it.

At Rutgers, we ran NEWS 6.0-3 from an NNTP server.  With about 1800 newsgroups
and a WSQUOTA/WSEXTENT of 2000 pages, starting NEWS on a lightly loaded
8650 took 5-10 minutes and perhaps 40,000 page faults.  Then the server's
coverage increase to some 3200 newsgroups.  Startup went to over half an
hour, with millions of page faults.  Increasing WSEXTENT to 5000 pages
restored roughly the previous behavior (but resulted in so much of an impact
on the system that official support for NEWS was dropped).

A look at the source reveals that it can take time O(N^2) and incur O(N^2)
page faults during startup.

You should also try 6.1beta.  While it doesn't eliminate the problem, it helps
a great deal.

Reply-To: EWILTS@GALAXY.GOV.BC.CA
Organization: BC Systems Corporation

I've got a problem with the way READ/NEW/FOLLOWUP works. If the current item is
not new, or has been skipped, the command displays the first new item in the
newsgroup.  However, if the current item is new, it is displayed instead of the
first new item in the group.

I find this rather inconvenient since I will typically look at a newsgroup
directory and skip the threads or articles I don't want to read before I hit
the READ/NEW/FOLLOW.  I find myself constantly having to find an unread article
before I should do this or I can end up reading the last message in the thread
instead of the first.

Is this the way it's supposed to work or is this a bug?  I'm currently running
6.1B1 although I saw this behaviour in 6.0-3 as well.

I'm sure there's no "one" optimum. It would depend very much on the
news volume, expiration policies, etc. of each site. You do best, on
deletions, if you have sufficient buffers to cache all indices (primary and
secondary) as well as a few buffers for actually data records.

The best improvement I've seen is to use a lot of buffers, *and* turn
on RMS deferred write on the files. RMS otherwise will write buffers
everytime they change, as a safety factor. 

I have code to do all this, which needs to be brought into synch with
6.1beta, at which point I'll happily provide it.

A word of warning: Each buffer consumes locks, so make sure your
ENQLM is sufficient.

Me too.  The flexibility I've wanted is to edit the "References:"
header.  There's someone out there that is trying to make their
references info neat, so that it covers more than one line, instead of
wrapping around.  NEWS won't read any header more than one line.  If I
think references are important, I'd like to be able to specify that.

Yes I skim and add news ad the same time.  Also, there is no need for
skimming anything but news items each day.  I

   I'm having some problems when using OPEN MAIL into Anu News 6.03. Here is
what happens:
 
   - If I try to read something in the reader.mail.newmail newsgroup, I get a
message "%MAIL-E-INVITMCOD, invalid item code" and the screen freezes. I can
read the mail content, but none of the commands work (dir, newsgroups, etc.)
   - When I use CLOSE MAIL, news purges my wastebasket folder. It can take
a long time, since I receive a lot of new mail. I have NOAUTOPURGE set in my
mail settings, but Anu News seems to ignore it.
 
   Also, it seems to be impossible to cancel a mail sending, i.e, if I type
MAIL into news and after I change my mind, there is no way I can use to cancel
this sending. (if I use CTRL + C news aborts!)
 
   Is there a path to fix these problems?

Is it OK to SKIM concurrently with ADDing new items?  This seems to work,

Also on SKIM - it seems that it's impossible to POST while SKIM is doing
