See the ctlinnd command. yes , it should solve the problem ... Good advice is to get and read thru the INN FAQ - it's absolutely the Best FAQ IMHO. I have other INN related Q for FreeBSD addicts :) here: what is expirience with running FreeBSD PCs as INND servers with full news feed ? Is it capable of handling the load ? Any IO/CPU limitations ? I run P6-200 here as news server - runs just fine, load averages are ~0.3-0.5 , readers peak at ~200-300, total of ~23.000 newsgroups in active, 3 days expire average, 370.000 - 420.000 inodes used in /usr/spool/uucp. 4 sites feed me , but I have feeling I do miss a LOT. I have average BW of 15-20Kbytes/sec to all 4 of 'em. Round-trips range from 40ms to 90ms. [ going away from freebsd-hackers here :) ] What can possibly be done to speed the things up ? Any sense in using batch/compression mode ,assuming 4 peers ? As I understand in this case IHAVE doesn't work so I'll be fed ALL articles and will have to check for whether I have 'em afterwards ? So even though me and my sender will certainly save some time in IHAVE/open() cycle, significant BW will be consumed by sending the (compressed)articles I already have. Any personal preferences as whose Newsfeed is the best ? :) Any1 willing to peer at NYC-DC area ? Rashid.
