I have /var/spool/neu/slrnpull.conf which lists groups I want to read. /var/spool/news is a symlink to /var/spool/neu/news and I have two cron jobs, one to periodically download news and one each day to expire. slrnpull wants inews to post, but I have a little shell script which tricks it into putting things into the out.going directory for slrnpull to post later. This was my setup for at least 4 years until I installed INN locally as a precursor to upgrading a production box. However, this means you use nnspool and not nntp as your select method, as you'll be reading right out of the filesystem. -kevin -- It is ridiculous claiming that video games influence children. For instance, if Pac-man affected kids born in the eighties, we should by now have a bunch of teenagers who run around in darkened rooms and eat pills while listening to monotonous electronic music.
