Hi !
I'm struggeling with inn 1.5.1 on my companies FreeBSD
Gateway machine (FreeBSD-2.2-STABLE).
I only have experience with inn getting news via UUCP.
This worked fine so far. But now I deceided, to get
news faster, so our internet service provider and I
tried to change the delivery to immediate delivery.
At my site I added his site (news.technet.net) to
my sites (news.wup.de) hosts.nntp file:
## hosts.nntp - names and addresses that feed us news
news.technet.net:
For outgoing - which is currently working well here -
I changed the entries in the newsfeeds file from:
# meservb/ddfservb.technet.net,meservb.technet.net,news.technet.net\
# :*,!wup*,!junk,!local*,!control/!foo\
# :Tf,Wfb:
to
technet/ddfservb.technet.net,meservb.technet.net,news.technet.net\
:*,!wup*,!junk,!local*,!control/!foo\
:Tf,Wnm:
My nntpsend.ctl file looks like this:
technet:news.technet.net:2m:
My crontab entry checks for news and deliveres every 5 Minutes ...
5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55,0 * * * * /usr/local/news/bin/nntpsend technet news.technet.net
The only thing I want to now is, what might be the reason, that
I don't receive any news from him ???
What else do I have to configure, that he is allowed to send me news
using nntpsend (Netscape news server) ???
I see no debug/log file, that indicates an error....
Any thoughts ???
