SETUP INND

Below are the files that you need to setup for INN news. I used inn-2.2.2 on my system. It is configured to install in /opt/news with the command ./configure --prefix=/opt/news during the installation of inn.

##  $Revision$
##  expire.ctl - expire control file
##  Format:
##	/remember/:<keep>
##	<patterns>:<modflag>:<keep>:<default>:<purge>
##  First line gives history retention; other lines specify expiration
##  for newsgroups.  Must have a "*:A:..." line which is the default.
##	<patterns>	wildmat-style patterns for the newsgroups
##	<modflag>	Pick one of M U A -- modifies pattern to be only
##			moderated, unmoderated, or all groups
##	<keep>		Mininum number of days to keep article
##	<default>	Default number of days to keep the article
##	<purge>		Flush article after this many days
##  <keep>, <default>, and <purge> can be floating-point numbers or the
##  word "never."  Times are based on when received unless -p is used;
##  see expire.8

##  If article expires before 14 days, we still remember it for 14 days in
##  case we get offered it again.  Depending on what you use for the innd
##  -c flag and how paranoid you are about old news, you might want to
##  make this 28, 30, etc.
/remember/:14

##  Keep for 1-10 days, allow Expires headers to work.

##  $Revision$
##  Mailing addresses for moderators.
##  Format:
##	<newsgroup>:<pathname>
##  First match found is used.
##	<newsgroup>	Shell-style newsgroup pattern or specific newsgroup
##	<pathname>	Mail address, "%s" becomes newgroup name with dots
##			changed to dashes.

## Russian hierarchies
fido7.*:%s@fido7.ru

##  $Revision$
##  newsfeeds - determine where Usenet articles get sent
##  Format:
##	site[/exclude,exclude...]\
##		:pattern,pattern...[/distrib,distrib...]\
##		:flag,flag...\
##		:param
##  Summary of flags:
##	<size		Article must be less then size bytes.
##	>size		Article must be more then size bytes.
##	Aitems		Article checks -- d (must have Distribution header)
##			p (don't check for site in Path header)
##			c (no control messages) C (only control messages)
##			e (all groups must exist).
##	Bhigh/low	Internal buffer size before writing to output.
##	Fname		Name of the spool file.
##	Gcount		Crossposts limited to count groups.
##	H[count]	Article must have less then count hops; default is 1.
##	Isize		Internal buffer size (if a file feed)
##	Nm		Only moderated groups that match the patterns.
##	Nu		Only unmoderated groups that match the patterns.
##	Ppriority	Nice priority of channel or program feed.
##	Ooriginator	First field of X-Trace must match originator (wildmat).
##	Ssize		Start spooling if more than size bytes get queued.
##	Ttype		Feed types -- f (file) m (funnel; param names the
##			real entry) p (pipe to program) c (send to stdin
##			channel of param's sub-process) x (like c, but
##			handles commands on stdin) x (log entry only).
##	Witems		What to write -- b (article bytesize) f (full path)
##			g (first newsgroup) h (Message-ID hash) 
##			m (Message-ID) n (relative path) p (posted time)
##			s (site that fed article) t (time received)
##			* (names of funnel feed-in's or all sites that get
##			the article) N (Newsgroups header) D (Distribution
##			header) H (all headers) O (overview data)
##			P (path header) R (replication information)
##  Param field depends on T flag.  For Tf, relative paths are from the
##  out.going directory.  For Tp and Tc, it is a shell command to execute.
##  If a Tm refers to this entry (which will have its own T param) then "*"
##  is expanded to all the funnel sites that triggered this one.  Useful
##  for spawning one mail process, e.g.
##
##  This file is complicated -- see newsfeeds.5!

##  This is the local site.
##  The "pattern" field gives the initial subscription list for
##  all other sites.  You might want to put "!control,!junk,!.*"
##  there.  The "distrib" subfield limits incoming articles.
##
##  You can also have ME/bad.site: to refuse articles from a particular
##  site (by matching the Path: entry).  Other pseudo-sites may be put
##  in here, to REFUSE certain types of 3rd-party cancel messages
##  (See the "Cancel FAQ" news.admin.net-abuse.misc):
##	cyberspam	Spam cancels, munged articles, binary postings
##	spewcancel	just munged articles from runaway gateways
##	bincancel	just binary postings to non-binaries groups
##
##  Note that refusing articles means you won't offer them to sites you feed

## Default of  everything to everybody except for junk, control, anything
## with "local" as the newsgroup prefix (i.e. matches "localhost.stuff") or
## groups under foo. Articles posted to any group under alt.binaries.warez
## will not get propagated, even if they're cross posted to something that
## is.
ME\
	:*,!junk,!control*,!foo.*/fido,local\
	::

## news.wxs.nl via rpost (suck)

##  News overview
# use this flag if storage api is used

##  $Revision$
##  distrib.pats -- specify default Distribution header for newsgroups
##  Format:
##	<weight>:<pattern>:<value>
##  All articles are matched against all patterns, value to be used is the
##  one with the highest weight.
##	<weight>	The weight assigned to this match, integer
##	<pattern>	Newsgroup name or single wildmat(3) pattern
##	<value>		Value of Distribution header.
##
##
## Uncomment to default all local.* groups to a distribution of local.
#10:local.*:local
10:local.*:local
10:fido.*:fido

##  $Revision$
##  nnrp.access - access file for on-campus NNTP sites
##  Format:
##	<host>:<perm>:<user>:<pass>:<groups>
##	<host>:</path/file>
##  Connecting host must be found in this file; the last match found is
##  used, so put defaults first.
##	<host>		Wildcard name or IP address
##	<perm>		R to read; P to post
##	<user>		Username for authentication before posting
##	<pass>		Password, for same reason
##	<groups>	Newsgroup patterns that can be read or not read
##	</path/file>	A second file to scan in the same format as this
##  To disable posting put a space in the <user> and <pass> fields, since
##  there is no way for client to enter one.
##
## Default is no access, no way to authentication, and no groups.
