Lines: 19 Keywords: alternate schemes for Eunice? Xref: watmath net.news:4205 net.eunice:254 I'm trying to set up a low-volume, low-usage (maybe 1 user) news feed at a Eunice site. I only got 2.10.3 running on my site with some difficulty. I have no desire to SA the Eunice site as well. Eunice comes with "news(1)", a Bill Joy-written variant of msgs, that looks like it can handle a limited amount of news traffic with less flexibility. I can't find reference to it in any of my 4.1 or 4.2 manuals, but their are some mock aliases in /usr/lib/aliases. If I wanted to feed, say, 4 or 5 newsgroups via uucp mail, would this news(1) do the job? If so, how? Alternately, how hard is it to run 2.10.3 netnews on Eunice? Joel West CACI, Inc.
