THORIN(8)                                                       THORIN(8)
NAME
     thorin, thorin's manual page
SYNOPSIS
     thorin [-a troll_name] [-d] [-e] [-f abuse_email] [-g] [-h]
     [-k troll_name] [-s] [-u] [-v] [-V]
DESCRIPTION
     This manual page documents the GNU version of thorin.
     thorin is an advanced, general purpose, customizable extensible,
     real-time Linux advocate on the it.* hierarchy.
     We call it a "real-time" advocate because the it.* hierarchy is updated
     very frequently.
     We call thorin advanced because it provides facilities that go beyond
     simple post and follow-up on a newsgroup.
     We call it customizable because thorin behaviour can be controlled by
     certain phrases ("Windows e` meglio di Linux", for example)
     We call it extensible mainly because the size of its internal
     killfile is a strictly growing function.
     thorin should be run at boot time by /etc/init.d/netbase
     (or /etc/rc.local on some systems).
     It then listens for articles on certain internet news group.
     When an interesting article is found on one of its groups, it decides
     if the author is a troll. After that, it continues to listen on the
     group.
     thorin reads its configuration information from a configuration file
     which, by default, is /etc/thorin.conf.
     To edit the thorin's configuration file vi(1) is suggested.
     thorin rereads its configuration file when it receives a hangup signal,
     SIGHUP. thorin creates a file /var/run/thorin.pid that contains his
     process identifier.
 
    OPTIONS
      -a, --add
             Adds an entry in its internal kill file. This will be issued
             by default in many cases.
      -d, --daemon-mode
             Runs thorin in daemon mode. You can add a line in /etc/inetd.conf
             like this:
	     thorin stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.thorin
 
      -e, --md-emulation-mode
             Turns on Marco D'Itri emulation mode. All posts and followups
	     will have the typical md sintetic format. Very usual.
      -f, --followup-to-abuse
             Followup to an abuse complain address.
	     Often 
ab...@tin.it
 or 
news...@tiscalinet.it
 
      -g, --aggressive-mode
             Turns on aggressive mode. Messages posted under this mode
             can be very violent. Use this mode for trolls only!
      -h, --help
             Posts an help massage on a it.* group.
             Use this for it.comp.os.linux.iniziare.
      -k, --kill
             Kills a troll.
             A target troll can be selected by name.
      -s, --size
             Prints the size of the killfile. (very big)
      -u, --ultra-violence-mode
             Turns on ultra violence mode. Caution, very dangerous.
	     thorin will assail the victim with extreme violence.
	     Rare, fortunately.
      -v, --verbose
             Verbose mode.
      -V, --version
             Prints version information (his birthday) on stdout.

Grazie ! Ho riso davvero di gusto... :-) Salvata e stampata.
Di niente, ci vuole ancora qualche ritocco e stavo pensando di aggiugere
un --sarcastic-mode.
Ah dimenticavo, "A thorin command appeared first in..."?

Ci sarebbero due correzioni:
- Hai detto che il daemon puo' essere attivato da alcune frasi ma
  non hai messo un apposito switch da command line
- Non gira su RH 6.1 ma al massimo 6.0 ed e' la versione
  nativa.. quella GPL gira su qualunque distribuzione Linux, ci
  mancherebbe.


  mancherebbe.
Non ho capito, vuoi distribuirti con due licenze??
In ogni caso, di chi e` il copyright sui sorgenti? FSF?
Infine "A thorin command appeared first in..."?
