I hope Rich adds to the newsfeeds man page that "ME:!*::" makes a really
good "ME" line.  (Listening Rich?)

Agreed.  I tried to include "cookbook" examples of the common kinds of
feeds that people usually use in the doc I wrote, but I don't think I
did a great job.

Agreed.  news.daily needs to check to see if it's running as "news"
and refuse to run otherwise.  ...and the man page needs to stress this.

It's in the man page but it's not easy to find.  Hopefully Rich will make
it stand out more or mention in the sample inn.conf that people will
usually want it to be "off" (or is it "on"?  I can't remember now.).

The best "moderator" file is just:

I don't know.  I don't run mthreads in daemon mode and I'm waiting for
everyone to adopt the "nov" standard so I don't have to keep the mthreads
database and the NN database.

Good luck!

No no no.  INN does not have an "injnews" program.  C News does.

Mixing C News inews/relaynews/injnews with INN's innd/inews is a sure
recipet for disaster.

You can install inews anywhere.  If you make it a shell script that sets the
default NNTPSERVER and ORGANIZATION environment variables then exec's the
program, you don't even need inn.conf around.

This is very unfortunate.  Using RN or XRN you can just "setenv NNTPSERVER
new.machine.address" and off it goes.  This is useful when your site has
several news servers.  Would it be easy to add this feature to NN?

Greetings.
I am running nn 6.4.16 at my site (the news is on a seperate server system)
and have had some problems with the index database appearently becoming 
corrupt. This happens after system crashes. At any rate, executing 
"nn" or "nnmaster" with a variety of parameters yields the error 
message (from the log file) :

E: Nov 19 12:28 (mejh): Read GROUPS failed
E: Nov 19 12:30 (mejh): Read GROUPS failed
E: Nov 19 12:32 (M): Read GROUPS failed

E: Nov 19 12:47 (M): Read GROUPS failed
E: Nov 19 12:47 (M): Abnormal termination, exit=8

When this occurs, I end up re-initializing the database. This then creates
undue load on the news server, etc. Anybody seen this before? Is there
a less drastic action that can be taken?

The name of a poster/emailer is specified in the "From: " header line
of a post/email.

With nn you can set the header lines for posting/emailing in the init file
($HOME/.nn/init).

Here are my settings, adjust as needed:

set mail-header From: guckes@math.fu-berlin.de (Sven Guckes)
set news-header From: guckes@math.fu-berlin.de (Sven Guckes)

There are a whole lot of options you can enter at this prompt (I have
all of them listed above the prompt, presumably because I'm not an
expert user :-)  The options include w)rite, which then prompts you for
a filename to append the article to.  Another option is e)dit, which 
puts you back in the editor, from where you could also save to a temp
file.  Perhaps a p)ost option should be added, though.

Subject: need to convert from news-format to mail-format, help??? & +$F bug?
Organization: Goddard Space Flight Center
Date: Fri, 20 Nov 1992 16:20:27 GMT

1)
i used to use the default save format of news-format (i guess it is)
and now want to use mail-format

like the man page sez it checks and if previous message are saved in
one format it will keep on saving in that format 

so, what i need is an awk/sed script or something that will convert my
old news-format files to mail-format files  - i hope somebody has one
or there is a built in method i could use (i have way too many articles
saved to do it by hand)

if you use mail-format can you still use nn to view your saved messages
or are they mutually exclusive (man page didn't seem to imply it)

2)
i used to use the default save file style of +$F
(e.g. ~/News/news/software/nn)   However, i never liked that and 
wanted to convert to +$G style but didn't have time to find out
that all i need was a set default-save-file +$G in my .nn/init file!

today i found a real reason to find this out - i don't know if this
is a bug or what - but, i was subscribed to comp.windows.x.apps
w/ +$F saved files went to comp/windows/x/apps

today i subscribed to comp.windows.x and when i tried to save a file
(still w/ $F) it sez it can't (and i looked and of course it couldn't
because comp/windows/x is a directory and it wanted to write to it)

this is all moot to me now that i've switched to +$G but was wondering
how all the +$F folks get around this?

Close, but that wasn't it. :-)  The problem was that the UID/GID on the
/usr/spool/nn DIRECTORY wasn't news/news.  So it wasn't writable by nnmaster
when SUID to news.  But it was by root (the directory was root/sys).  Thus,
running the non-SUID nnmaster worked, BUT it then created the rest of the
/usr/spool/nn/* files and sub-dirs as root/sys instead of news/news.
Changing the /usr/spool/nn/* tree to news/news fixed the problem.!!!

Thanks to all for the assistance.

Hmmm.  This  is  interesting. My NNTP server didnt have to set me up... As
far  as  changing  servers,  NN  has  a  database of articles on the local
machine  so  their  could  be  problems  with switching between the two or
three  servers  that  you  want  to  use.  Like  articles  that  have been
expired, on one and not the other.  

>This is very unfortunate.  Using RN or XRN you can just "setenv NNTPSERVER

I  guess  you could have a separate database for each server although that
seems rather wasteful in terms of space.  Hmm interesting question.

  talk to your news administrator--if groups for articles in junk are
  not created automatically, he should do so manually.  this fixes the
  problem for not only nn, but rn, tin, etc...

  selecting articles based on something other than the body or from or
  subject headers should be on the drawing board.

I am assuming that your problem is that you wanted to post, and not send
a letter, right?

The solution is simple.  Re-edit the file (e command), and then tell the
editor to save the file somewhere.  Then tell nn to forget about
sending the letter (CNTL-G at the send letter prompt or something like
that).  Then do the post thing, and when nn puts you in the editor,
pull back your old file.

I have a problem with running nn, after I compiled it successfully,
I tried to start it but it came back with "/path_name/MASTER cannot
open. I compiled the program to use a netwrok MASTER so it should not
have to use the local master file. Is this true or not. 
Any body knows how can I get rid of the error??

I figured out my problem.  I wanted to use a symbolic link from /usr/spool/nn
to /usr2/spool/nn and aparently nnmaster doesn't like that.  I changed the
path in the Makefile to /usr2/spool/nn and it works fine.
