First of all, I'm a _novice_ news-administrator. We here in Salzburg got Internet connectivity in last november and newsfeed in january 92. So I'm still experimenting with our News-setup, and I'm not sure that everything is set up alright by now. (I still wonder if Posting to a moderated group works... or what a moderator has to do in order to approve a message.)

Noch mal vielen Dank. > Well, here's our basic setup: Our Newshost (eule.cosy.sbg.ac.at) is a sun4 running SunOS 4.1.1 with: Cnews.270891.tar.Z nntp.1.5.11.tar.Z rn-4.4.tar.Z (Pulled off ftp.univie.ac.at, there are surely newer versions of the software, but I don't care about that right now.) We get our feed from swdsrv.edvz.univie.ac.at via nntp. We use nntpxmit to transmit our postings to swdsrv (Maybe nntpxmit is not the best and most efficient program, but who cares when we are posting no more than 1 messge/day ??) We are a leaf site. All newsreading is done via nntp. Oh yes, I installed Xrn and xvnews, too. Btw: We currently only serve the 'Institut fuer Computerwissenschaften und Systemanalyse', the EDVZ has not yet set up a newssystem. (That's why we made our own ;-) ) 'nuff for now, if you want to see our config-files, give me a call. > - Joerg > /Otmar -- /----------------------------------------------------------------------\ |Otmar Lendl (lendl@cosy.sbg.ac.at) | Student of CS & Math at Salzburg | |Akademiestr. 15 A-5020 Salzburg | University (Austria / Europe) | | Put the scrabble away Arthur, it won't save the human race !
