I finally noticed (after 3 months of running Cnews) that all the maps we've been receiving in comp.mail.maps haven't been getting unpacked into the comp/mail/maps/comp.mail.maps directory. Alas, I have no idea how it was done back when we were running Bnews (one of the first things I started on when I became news/mail person here was getting Cnews up). Neither of our last two news/mail people seem to remember. My question is if Cnews is supposed to be unsharing these things automagically or if there is an auxiliary program I should be running to do it? Or should I just get off my lazy butt and write a script to do it? :-) thanks for your help. I think I've checked through the Cnews docs and haven't found something; if I missed the correct man page/file to look at, please just point me in the proper direction and I'll happily RTFM. ----- Jason Molenda, University of Minnesota, Minnesota Supercomputer Institute molenda@s1.msi.umn.edu || rutgers!umn-cs!s1.msi.umn.edu!molenda or molenda@cs.umn.edu (which is just a forward to molenda@s1.msi.umn.edu)

Alas, I have no idea how it was ignore that question. I just found the source to uuhosts and figured out how it's all supposed to work. -jason molenda, University of Minnesota, Minnesota Supercomputer Institute molenda@s1.msi.umn.edu

C news doesn't unpack maps automagically; you have to put something in your sys file. Some people run uuhosts from their sys files for comp.mail.maps. -- Geoff Collyer utzoo!utstat!geoff, geoff@utstat.toronto.edu
