From readers (i.e. postings from customers) or your feeds? >From memory nntplink is only for the outbound news link, and has nothing to do with inbound articles. I have abslutely no idea why you are getting rnews batches in your in.coming directory if you are running innd and it is accepting the connections on port 119, but you can run 'rnews -U' to `unbatch' the stuff in in.coming. What would be helpful is setting syslogd up to log the news facility and looking in there for error messages. Gary -- Gary Palmer FreeBSD Core Team Member FreeBSD: Turning PC's into workstations.
