We are trying to set up our news system to receive news via NNTP (Network News Transfer Protocal) on one of our machines and read it remotely via RRN (Read Remote News) from the others. We currently use Bnews but I do not mind switching to Cnews if it will work. We have had partial success: I can read news remotely from our ENCORE on to the RS6000. My problem comes when I try to read news remotely between two RS6000. To be more specific I can read the articles but not scan the tittles. Also NNTP does not see the correct group list numbers. I believe my problem is somehow related to the history file used by NNTP and Bnews. Most likely I have set this up wrong. There are a number of possible options: USG history files, DMB, or NDBM. Has any one done this successfully?
