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.
