Can anybody shed a light for me how to run and manage Cnews thru NNTP ? I installed the Cnews and NNTP lately on two Sun3/60 runnimg 4.0.3 SUn OS. I could rn and Pnews to the news server from other Sun news client. But I had a hard time to read thru the exact procedure and command syntax for the nntp and cnews to get news feed from samsung.com to our cnews machine ernie.viewlogic.com. The Cnews I got it from uunet lately which I beleive is the latest version which has a patch date on May-90 and the nntp.1.5.9 with a little hack to make it work. ( I knew it had a bug thru news ). Please E-mail to me directly. tom@viewlogic.com Thanks +-----------------------+------------------------------------------------+ |Tom Yen | Address: | |Systems Manager | {Internet} tom@viewlogic.com | |Viewlogic Systems, Inc | {UUCP} ...!samsung!cg-atla!viewlog!tom | |Marlboro, MA 01752 | {FAX} 508-480-0882 | +-----------------------+------------------------------------------------+

If someone is willing to write something like this and send it to me, I
will happily include it in the standard NNTP distribution. I don't run
CNEWS so I am not in a position to write one.

(Our highest priority is doing the things we get paid for, which rarely means C News, alas.) Also, we're not NNTP gurus, which slows things down. -- It is not possible to both understand | Henry Spencer at U of Toronto Zoology and appreciate Intel CPUs. -D.Wolfskill| henry@zoo.toronto.edu utzoo!henry
