- I'm a new uucp site, still trying out UUPC/extended and
- FSUUCP. I've been getting mail okay for about two
- weeks, but I'm still not receiving news. My host
- has set up my sys file so that I am supposed to receive
- news, but each time I examime the logs from uuxqt I see
- many references to rmail but no requests to run rnews.
- UUPC's info about rnews is kinda sketchy, and FSUUCP
- refers me to the non-existant man file rnews.
-
- If I wanted to be absolutely sure that my host is not
- sending an rnews command, which log file should
- I look in for each of FSUUCP and UUPC/extended?
- Being still in test I still run both in debug level 9.
-
- Thanks in advance for your help.
-
- (BTW if this works, I know I'm able to post okay, I'm
- sending this with FSUUCP's postnews).
