Subject: Changing 'primary' server, in an easy way!
Date: 22 Apr 1996 08:50:28 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <lvd9507nwq.fsf@pt.hk> (raw)

I am thinking of changing my local (non foreign) server, now when
they have it up and running here at school, it would be easy to just
change the select-method to nntp "new server", but the problem is that
the old server carries groups the new doesn't carry.

So I thought if you could convert the local server to foreign
group-entries, and then changing the select method, by this way I can
easily catch up on whats new on the new server, the groups that are
fed ok I just delete from the old server, and keep the ones missing.

Any comments?

p.s. BTW why do we distinguish between foreign and 'local' servers,
why not do all servers (groups) 'foreign'?
