To: questions@freebsd.org Date: Thu, 20 Jun 1996 17:10:29 +0600 Subject: trn/inews posting problem Reply-to: conrads@neosoft.com CC: support@freebsd.org Priority: normal X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Win32 (v2.30) Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I just recently purchased the Walnut Creek CD-ROM, built the trn 3.6 port, and am trying to figure out how to get it to post to my ISP's news server. I tried to tell the configure script for the trn build to use inews, but it complained it couldn't find it, so I went ahead and installed cnews from the packages collection. Maybe this was a mistake? inews will only accept articles locally for groups in its active file. Not what I want to do! What is the recommended way to enable trn to post articles directly to a remote server? If cnews is one of the normal solutions, what is the key to getting it to work purely as a "pass-through" mechanism. I don't want to run my own news server! :-) Thanks very much for any advice. -- Conrad Sabatier -- http://www.neosoft.com/~conrads/
