- There is a good way around this that works great if Kestrel is running

- I'm in a situation where INET1 and INET2 both feed me (internet sites) and
- UUCP1 is connected via UUCP. INET2 is fed my output and the full feed from
- INET1 while INET1 is only fed my output. In this case, "my output" also
- includes the articles from UUCP1. My sys files for these is as follows...
-
- #
- # NNTP feed sites:
- #
- INET2:all,!chico,!to,to.INET2/all,!local,!csci,!csuc,!chico:F:\
- /usr/spool/news/batch/INET2
- INET1/INET1,INET2:all,!chico,!to,to.INET1/all,!local,!csci,!csuc,!chico:F:\
- /usr/spool/news/batch/INET1
- #
- # UUCP feeds
- #
- UUCP1:rec.music.industrial,chico,to.UUCP1/all:f:\
- /usr/cnews/spool/out.going/UUCP1/togo
-
- In particular, you want to know what the INET/INET,/INET2 does for you.
- I usually find that, once you know what you're looking for, it's a bit
- easier to find. (:
