-
- The sys file controls which newsgroups are propogated to remote sites. When
- news comes in from a remote site, the sys file will decide which systems
- to send the news on to.
-
- The format of a sys file entry is: site:newsgroups:flags:command
-
- site - the name of the site we're talking about. Same as in the systems
- file
-
- newsgroups - which newsgroups to feed TO them. Receipt of newsgroups is
- dependant solely on our active file. ! negation is allowed
- here.
-
- flags - flags to control batching. Currently, only the "F" flag is used.
- if you do not have "F" here, no batching will occur.
-
- command - command for the flag. Currently, just the name of the file in
- which news articles bound for the batcher reside goes here.
- The filename will be under the root "[news]\outgoing\" directory.
-
- include all newsgroups that should feed to remote sites.
-
- Currently, the system is set up for all incoming news to be placed in the
- proper directories by RNEWS. All news posted on this site is submitted to
- rnews and the proper filename is appended to a batcher spool file. At the
- apropriate time, BATCHER is run, which uses this and the batcher.cfg file
- that are found in this directory ([libdir]/news) to copy and batch news
- articles to be sent to the sites named here via fsuucp. It is the
- responsibility of the system administrator to be sure that the sites in this
- file match those in the batcher.cfg file, and vice versa.
