Newsgroup: it.comp.sicurezza.varie
Titolo: OT ma non sapevo a chi chiedere se non a Master

So che con linux si può fare da news server a se stessi con diversi vantaggi
(usare diversi reader, usare diversi server per colmare incompletezze...)
Allora ho pensato; è possibile fare lo stesso con windows?
Dopo un po' di ricerca sul web ho scaricato Dnews, che mi sembra potrebbe
fare al caso mio.
É corretto configurarlo su 127.0.0.1 e configurare poi sullo stesso ip OE?
Quale sono le impostazioni migliori per un unico user in locale (io)?
Vorrei prelevare la gerarchia it dal mio news server e tutto il resto da
altri server liberi che conosco, sommando senza duplicare le news.
Posso anche postare o può dare qualche problema?
E per ultimo come posso evitare che tutto il mondo usi il mio computer come
news server mentre sono on line? ;-)

le risposte che cerchi le trovi tutte nelle specifiche del programma:
DNEWS is extremely flexible and is designed to accommodate users of all
levels, from the novice netizen to the news guru and everyone in between.
The server combines ease of use and cross-platform compatibility with a rich
and extremely powerful feature-set to ensure that any user can run the
server. And while still not as easy to get up and running with as a standard
newsreader client like Agent, most users will be able to install and
configure DNEWS within an hour. The best part is that after initially
setting the server up everything else is a breeze. DNEWS is designed to run
unattended and will perform all of its tasks in the background while you
work on other projects. The result is virtually no ongoing administration
time and none of the costs normally associated with manually maintaining a
server.
DNEWS offers a wide variety of features that will appeal to users of all
levels. NNTP streaming extensions (which can increase the throughput of a
large feed over slow links by more than 200%), support for standard MIME
types and image formats (like GIF and JPEG), built-in SPAM protection (which
can cut SPAM by up to 99% using advanced filters and auto-detection
mechanisms), a News to Mail gateway, optional PGP authentication, live feed
technology, XOVER support, full access control, and intelligent expiration
capabilities barely scratch the surface of DNEWS' extensive collection of
features. Cross-platform support is another of the server's strong suits.
Versions are currently available for Windows 95/NT, OS/2, Macintosh, VMS,
Novell Netware, and a wide variety of Unix platforms.
Perhaps the best feature of DNEWS is its unique dynamic sucking feed
mechanism. This option allows DNEWS to receive and maintain only those
newsgroups that are actively read by users, which in turn allows you to
provide all the benefits of a full news feed service while simultaneously
avoiding the considerable bandwidth and disk space required by a full feed.
This results in the ability to serve a group of one hundred users on as
little as 100 MB and a single user with only 5 MB or disk space and a
standard dial-up 'net connection. This feature is best used in small to
medium-sized environments of less than 500 users and for companies that want
the benefits of running a server with a full news feed but have limited
resources for doing so. DNEWS can even use a combination of dynamic and full
feeds to give your users the best of both worlds.
DNEWS also bundles a News to Web Gateway called DNEWSWEB that allows users
to read and post news directly from their web browsers. DNEWSWEB is actually
a CGI script that 'plugs-in' to your web server and makes full text
searching possible as well as optional support for secure newsgroups (when
used with a secure web server). DNEWS can support up to 500 concurrent users
on a single machine and will work with any standard NNTP newsreader software
to allow its users to create and participate in USENET newsgroups. Not only
can you use the server to download and read news feeds, you can also use it
to submit your own messages and add your own public newsgroups. DNEWS will
also allow you to create your own local groups for interactive group
collaboration and for distributing company- or project-related information
and files.

Funziona!!!
