Path: utzoo!attcan!uunet!ubvax!vsi1!lmb From: lmb@vsi1.UUCP (Larry Blair) Newsgroups: news.software.b Subject: group exclusion is sys file Message-ID: <827@vsi1.UUCP> Date: 15 Jul 88 17:37:41 GMT Organization: VICOM Systems Inc., San Jose, CA Lines: 21 I've got a minor problem that I can't seem to solve by reading the news documentation, and I don't have time to pour through the source. We're running a group batching arrangement [thanks, csg@pyramid] using the following sys file lines: leaf_main:inet,world,na,usa,ca,ba,comp,news,sci,misc,rec,soc,gnu,biz,\ unix-pc,bionet,usrgroup,alt:F: leaf_rest:world,na,usa,ca,ba,!comp.all,!news.all,!sci.all,!misc.all,!rec.all,\ !soc.all,!alt.all,!ba.all,!ca.all,talk:F: The idea is that leaf_main gets all groups other than talk, and leaf_rest gets only talk. The problem is that leaf_rest still gets anything crossposted from talk to a non-talk group. As a result, these articles are batched in both leaf_main and leaf_rest. Is there some way to keep these crossposted articles out of leaf_rest? -- * * * O Larry Blair altnet!---\ * * * O VICOM Systems Inc. pyramid!---\ * * * O 2520 Junction Ave. uunet!ubvax!vsi1!lmb * * * O San Jose, CA 95134 ames!------/ * * * O +1-408-432-8660 sun!------/
