| + | I determined that the issue was not the server, but the TIN client configuration. After setting the NNTPSERVER env to 'local' host and using rtin instead of tin, everything worked fine. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Configured 'local.sluug.discuss' and posted a test message. Posted good and read with rtin. | ||
| + | |||
| + | I configured my remote client on my PC to point to port 119 on bud.sluug.org and it appears that the external port may be blocked. I did an ssh to tunnel to localhost:119 and everything works great! | ||
| + | |||
| + | So now we need a news feed.. :) | ||

| + | |||
| + | Continued to work on basic configuration. | ||
| + | |||
| + | In particular the readers.conf file to allow only authorized users to access the server. | ||
| + | |||
| + | 1.) configured the /etc/news/readers.conf file. See contents for changes. | ||
| + | 2.) created a newsusers file (see /etc/news/readers.com) for location. | ||
| + | 3.) Prepared a script in my bin directory to add entries (users:password) to the newsusers file. | ||
| + | 4.) Ran a test from home using forte agent. All post/read/overview features work great! | ||
| + | 5.) Uploaded a binary image (Apple.png) - all worked great up, retrieved and the image looked great. | ||
| + | 6.) Tried invalid passwords, blocked as expected. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Created new groups with: | ||
| + | root@bud:~ | ||
| + | # /usr/lib/news/bin/ctlinnd newgroup local.sluug.discuss | ||
| + | # /usr/lib/news/bin/ctlinnd newgroup local.sluug.steercom | ||
| + | # /usr/lib/news/bin/ctlinnd newgroup local.sluug.sysadmin | ||
| + | |||
| + | edit /var/lib/news/newsgroups to add descriptions. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Did a connect via rtin and agent. Look good. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Ready for users to connect. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Suck is available via zyypr, installed and did a quick check. (see log) | ||
| + | |||
| + | Looks like we need a newserver! Need to talk with steercom on this. We are going to need a generic email to get a free feed for 30days. | ||
