- All your regular WWCP files can be left as is, no name changes
- or editing are necessary. There is one exception: The WWSTAT files
- for all nets now have an extra line after the node name line. This is
- used for the UUCP name of the network in question. My WWSTAT looks
- like:
-
- # node name, same as node: in waffle/system/static
- fred.com
- # uucp name of WWIV system.
- wwiv <- this is the new line. You'd use "icenet", etc. for other nets.
- # used for From: line on news. %s is replaced with WWIVnet address.
- %s@wwiv.fred.com
- # used for From: line on mail. %s is replaced with WWIVnet address
- %s@wwiv.fred.com
- (etc.)
-
- You will need to make new WWSTAT files, one for each net. These files
- follow the same format, but have an extra three character extension. The
- extension is purely arbitrary, it won't change the messages in any way.
- The original WWSTAT file is just WWSTAT. If you made one for Icenet, you
- could call it WWSTAT.ICE (or WWSTAT.FOO, if you wanted, it doesn't
- matter. WWCP gets the information from the WWSTAT file. The extension
- is just an identifier).
-
- You'll need a new netsubs file for each net. The original NETSUBS
- file remains as is. New ones should use the same three character
- extension as the WWSTAT file above.
-
- Subscriber lists for other nets are placed in <subtype>.EXT files, where
- .EXT is the same three character extension used on the NETSUBS and WWSTAT
- file for that network. The original subscriber list files for WWIVnet
- keep their original .SUB extension, you don't have to change them at
- all.
-
- In addition, you should create a new entry in the /waffle/system/feeds file
- for each net. IceNET, for example, may look like:
-
- icenet /batch=icenet icenet.*,alt.flame.sean-ryan
-
- to send all IceNET groups on your system and gate in one of our favorite
- newsgroups.
-
- All three WWCP binaries (WWCICO, WWSMAIL, and WWRMAIL) now support
- an -n<netname> parameter, where netname is a three character identifier
- as above. For example, if you've set up a network using WWSTAT.ICE,
- NETSUBS.ICE, and 10500.ICE, WWSMAIL -nice will batch up the news and
- mail for that network, WWCICO -d -nice will call that network and
- transfer the files, and WWRMAIL -nice will process the incoming news
- and mail from that network.
