[news.sysadmin] What is wrong with my sys file?

adnan@sgtech.UUCP (Adnan Yaqub) (12/07/89)

I am trying to unbatch the UUCP map files.  I have the following lines
in my sys file:

sgtech:world,alt,bionet,biz,comp,pubnet,gnu,sci,news,rec,soc,talk,misc,na,usa,sgtech,to.ncoast::
ncoast:world,alt,bionet,biz,comp,pubnet,gnu,sci,news,rec,soc,talk,misc,na,usa,to.sgtech::
sgtech:comp.mail.maps:F:/usr/spool/news/maps/Batch

I get the map files into comp.mail.maps, but the files never get
listed in Batch.  What have I done wrong?

Add "world," just before "comp" and you may want to use a fictitious
hostname, not the same name as your system.

See "USENET Version B Installation," section 7.7 Distributions.
