Are there any special considerations to administering news on an Apollo workstation ring? I am interested in the following: - how do you link other nodes on the same ring to the the news/UUCP node ? I'd like to have the executable for readnews, postnews, vnews, and eventually rn on all nodes and have one ring-wide /usr/spool/news. (but I want to make sure that the outside world will see the correct return address for mail replies). - at the moment, I have each /usr/spool/news and /usr/lib/news linked to the news node and have all the news-related executables in /usr/bin on each node...this seems to work but the remote nodes on the Apollo ring sometimes indicate a "uux failed, code -1 " message after posting a message from them (but the posting was successful!!!). Any ideas ??? Feel free to reply by mail if you'd rather...thanks. -- Vince Skahan Boeing Computer Services - Phila. (215) 591-4116 INTERNET: bcs212%psev@boeing.com UUCP: {...rutgers!bpa!}vader!bcs212
