(suck, slurp, trn, rn ...) but some still don't work with the old path of cnews. the paths in the current distribution: NEWSBIN /usr/local/news/cnewsbin NEWSCTL /usr/local/news/lib NEWSARTS /var/news NEWSOV /var/news NEWSCONFIG /usr/local/news/lib/bin/config My problems: I prefer the location of history and active outside /usr/local and sorted the binaries under /usr/local/libexec/cnews. The nntpd port don't work with an seperate overview dirrectory. my current paths: NEWSBIN /usr/local/libexec/cnews NEWSCTL /usr/local/libexec/cnews NEWSARTS /var/news NEWSOV /var/news NEWSCONFIG /usr/local/libexec/cnews/config possibly pathes, i have thought about: NEWSCTL /var/lib/cnews NEWSARTS /var/cnews NEWSOV /var/cnews/over.view my target is to seperate cnews, so it does not collide with an existing inn distibution. please write your suggestions and comments here, regards Dirk -- Dirk Meyer, Im Grund 4, 34317 Habichtswald, Germany -- Tel. +49-5606-6512 .
