Here we never back up the news article spool partition.  Keeps the backups
small (a single unattended DAT) & faster.  If we ever lost the device, it would
be no big deal to start over again with an empty spool.

Of course, we DO back up the news programs and config files such as active,
history, etc.

No, I mean I'm going to write a newsfeeds file entry.  As in what INN
uses.  I find that it's a lot easier to just list groups than it is to
list this.group,!this.group.all (which is what you have to do with C

Except it's much more efficient for the article to be batched for all
the sites when it's received, rather than have separate dynafeed
processes each stat(), then read, then batch the articles for each
site.

I'm surprised at all the "why hasn't this happened" stuff.  I wrote
dynafeed and posted it to the comp.sources groups at least 2 years ago,
and it was always free.   Frankly, I'm amazed that anybody can run
a small leaf site without it.   When my upstream changed their news system and
I had to turn it off for a while, changing to a pared down sys line, my
disk filled up in a day or two.

I actually wrote a program that generated "this.group,!this.group.all"
for a site.  Input was the "arbitron" output for one machine and the
active file for the other.  It was a pretty gruesome alpha-beta
search but it did generate the shortest possible "sys" file.

Luckily, I was able to throw it away and make a much faster version
when all sites involved turned into INN sites.

This sounds like a terrible idea to me. Living outside the na/usa area where
most news comes from, I want to read all this stuff in rec,soc,comp, etc and
I don't care who the poster is or where he/she comes from, their words are just

We don't.  The turnover is so high that it makes backups huge, and we
can't see any good reason to back it up.  If we lose that filesystem,
we'd just mkfs it and start from scratch.

We do backup /usr/lib/news, although our history files are located
elsewhere (in the news filesystem) so they don't get backed up.  The
control files, like active and sys, are the things you really don't
want to lose.  They're small and don't cost much to back up.

Greetings all -
I hope that I don't offend anyone by posting this here.  This question
is from a friend of mine who works for the Department f The Interior.

What policies are there regarding use of the internet (and
possibly readnews) by Gov organizations for data transmission?

I realize that there is no one body that regulates the net,  but
still the question begs to be asked.

Thanks

Sort of.  There are only so many hours in the day, and so much time that
mgmt usually lets you spend on this sort of stuff.  Is the general
populace served by a fast relaynews and nov, or by something which will
reduce email news administration by some fraction?

More importantly, unless you live in such an environment, it is hard to
really know what the right "solution" is.  If there are things that can be
done to make life easier for small tight-budget sites, the answers (at
least the first draft) will have to come from such places.

Finally, I believe the tools are already there.  Both C News and INN can
handle an arbitrary control message.  So, find out what your feed is
running and implement a new control message that changes your feed.
Include some moderate security.  It shouldn't take more than a day of
tinkering.  Then, ask your feed to install that one handler for you.

we want to receive and send mails through UCX SMTP only, bypassing PMDF. We
tried it but failed. The mails received by SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol)

Jan 11 09:57:47 carbon innd: ME cant update_active talk.politics.misc
Jan 11 09:58:15 carbon innd: ME cant update_active soc.motss

Also, I moved my news partition some time ago to a new device.  I then
nfs mounted the new location on the old so that from a software
standpoint the path to the news articles remains unchanged.  Ever
since then I regularly get error messages of the form 

Jan 11 09:30:37 carbon innd: ME cant symlink /usr/local/news/alt/politics/clinton/23120 and talk/politics/misc/99999 File exists

I know that this can happen as a result of doing something like tar to
copy news and thereby splitting cross-posted articles.  This does not
seem to be the problem, however, as all articles that existed at the
time of the move should have long since expired.  Is there some
problem with my configuration relative to INN?  Is there a known bug
in INN?  I have not installed any of the INN patches as everyting
seemed to be working fine (and I haven't had the time); however, if
one of the patches fixes this bug, I will go off and install them.

Yes.

Actually, they do. This is from innd(8):

     Sites may explicitly have the ``control'' newsgroup in their
     subscription  list,  although  it is usually best to exclude
     it.  If a control message is posted to a  group  whose  name
     ends  with  the  four characters ``.ctl'' then the suffix is
     stripped off and what is left is used  as  the  group  name.
     For  example,  a cancel message posted to ``news.admin.ctl''
     will be sent to all sites that subscribe to  ``control''  or
     ``news.admin.''

There is also a pointer to this in newsfeeds(5).

>   But I still need it in my active file, right?

Yes.

   I remember a big discussion a while ago about a business that was selling
   Usenet articles stored over a period of time on CD-ROM.  Can someone tell
   me how to get in contact with that business?  Reply by email, please.

However, I got this response from I.Sparry@ss1.bath.ac.uk:

According to a phone call made yesterday, in response to a letter we
received just after Christmas, the company (Sterling Software) are shutting
down their 'Usenet News on CD' operation from the end of March.

This is a great pity, as the letter we received was in response to us
sending them a cheque and a letter saying 'send us a years worth, starting
with the first CD in Jan 93'.

Didn't you notice the flame war at the time? Most everyone figured it was
shareware and had too many ethical objections to abusing shareware without
paying. If it's really free somethingware, please make that clear.
