  Since tin creates those header lines for you when posting, it rather
implies that something meaningful is to go there, at least some of the time,
and it would be nice to see them when they contain data.
  I would also like it if there were some way to rearrange the header so as
to see the non-truncated title (or to display it on a line of its own if it
is too long for the allotted space.)

  I recommend against this, unless it can be turned off readily.  It would
mean significantly more pages to get through an article of a given size. 
(The Tin PL8 menu already cuts into the screen size unless you turn it off
with 'H'.)  It is easy to go back to the first page with the 'g' command if
you need to see the full header info for some reason.
  At most I would be willing to see the "curr response/num responses" added,
if it could be squeezed into that one line.

  Just one vote.

That facility no longer exists, either for use as an rnews option or
for use by inews.  Everything waits until the next run of newsrun.
(If you're impatient, we recommend running newsrun frequently -- it
is quick and efficient about discovering whether there is work to be
done or not.)

It wasn't a question of deciding that always-spool was good.  It's
clearly a botch to make the news system poll for relatively infrequent
events; in such a situation it would be much better to have it woken
up when the event happens.  The problem is, HOW?  Eliminating invocation
of newsrun (and thus relaynews) from everywhere except cron eliminated
a long list of difficult portability problems.  It is extremely hard
to *portably* start a daemon from a user process and be sure that it
will not get into trouble.

Bear in mind that C News has *always* routed all incoming news via the
in.coming spool directory; the only question was how soon it got
processed.  Frankly, if dropping an entire batch into a spool area is
a major efficiency hit, I don't see how your system is surviving all
the processing involved in placing each article from that batch into
its own file.

In you /etc/syslogd.conf, you would have something like:

news.notice				/var/log/inn.notice
news.debug				/var/log/inn.debug
*.debug;news.none			/var/log/huge-debug-file

This assumes that LOG_INN_SERVER & LOG_INN_PROG are using facility

(My previous posting must have been pretty stupid if noone cared to answer :-( )

I've set up innd on a host with both nntp and uucp-links. nntp works fine,
yet uucp-feeds fail and leave their article in in.coming/bad .

I assume this is due to innd spawning of nnrpd for all hosts under my
domain, thus bouncing off the IHAVE rnews sends.

Since rnews posts it's articles via IP, should I include localhost in 
hosts.nntp ? Or <realhostname>.<domain> ? Or none at all ?

  I haven't installed C-news in a year or so, do I remember incorrectly
that there was an option which said something "are you a really
impatient person who wants it NOW?" which disabled spooling, or is
forced spooling a feature which someone has since decided was so good
that every should have it? Has this been the case for long? I have the
release before the performance release, Dec 90 or so.

  I just bought a machine to do news, R4000 processor, 64MB, 2GB disk,
many serial lines and multiple ethernet connections to several nets. I
was disk bound with half the memory and CPU power, and only a full feed
coming in, there's no way I want to spool everything.

Current VM (and MVS) news implementations, in brief:

PSU NetNews: provides full local news service.  Newsfeeds can be transported
via NJE, or via NNTP with supplementary software (there's a receive-only
NNTP server, a full NNTP server implementation, and a NNTP transmitter).

NNR: a NNTP netnews reader for VM.

What do you mean by "use INN"?  If you're talking about talking to a
news server running INN with NNTP, any version of xrn should work just
fine.  (INN talks the NNTP protocol just fine.)  If you're talking
about an implementation of xrn that links with INN's libinn.a, I
thought that it was planned for xrn 6.19.

More precisely, in a modern C News, rnews *always* spools, and the spooled
stuff gets cleaned out by the next run of newsrun.

Subject: Relative path name in batch file.

I am running cnews and nntp 1.5.11.

Whenever an article is posted, the relative path name
is entered in the batch file (/usr/spool/news/batch/"host")
specified in the sys file. For example,

    news/software/nntp/2374  350

instead of

    /usr/spool/news/news/software/nntp/2374  350

The causes a problem when nntpxmit is executed, because
it cannot find the article.

Does anyone know how to fix this so that the full path
is entered instead?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Ian
