Hello. I have installed suck from the ports collection of FreeBSD 2.1.6 I created the /usr/local/etc/sucknewsrc file which looks like this alt.fan.tolkien -1 rec.arts.books.tolkien -1 relcom.education -1 relcom.fido.ru.unix -1 Then I ran the following script: ---- cut here ------- #!/bin/sh # # Download news from news.tomsk.su suck news.tomsk.su -dt /var/news/in.coming/tmp -dm /var/news/in.coming \ -dd /usr/local/etc/ -br batchfile ---- cut here ------- When I run this script I get the message that there are no articles on news.tomsk.su: vas# sux Official host name: mpeks.tomsk.su Alias news.tomsk.su Address: 193.124.182.17 Address: 193.124.185.19 Connected to mpeks.tomsk.su 200 mpeks.tomsk.su InterNetNews NNRP server INN 1.4 22-Dec-93 ready (posting ok) . 200 mpeks.tomsk.su InterNetNews NNRP server INN 1.4 22-Dec-93 ready (posting ok) . 0 Articles to download, 0 dupes removed Processing History File, experimental version Elapsed Time = 0 mins 0.00 seconds Processed history, 0 dupes removed Total Articles to Download: 0 No articles. Closed connection to mpeks.tomsk.su vas# However when I use "tin -r" to read the news I can see that in fact there are articles in the aforementioned newsgroups. What can be wrong? Why cannot suck get those articles? It does create /var/news/in.coming/tmp/suck.newrc file which looks like this: alt.fan.tolkien 6515 rec.arts.books.tolkien 8257 relcom.education 1507 relcom.fido.ru.unix 13426 Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- Victor Sudakov http://www.tomsk.su/r/persons/vas.htm
