Hi there,

        Is there anyone out there running Innd and slurp concurrently ?? I'm
trying to get slurp and innd to run currently but have not been successful so
far. The problem is that I only have a 28.8 K modem, and the bandwidth is not
sufficent for innd to handle all the available newsgroup. What I like to do is
use slurp to selectively collect the newsgroups that I'm interested in. I
managed to do that so far, but the problem is innd is still trickling in
unwanted newsgroups, because of this, the junk directory has grown too large
since all the unwanted articles get stored here.

        Can some one tell me how to stop innd from collecting unwanted
newsgroups ?? I know there's suppose to be a WANT_JUNK  flag in one of the
config file to modify during compilation to stop storing junks but I could not
find this anywhere.

        Also is there anyway that I can run slurp independent of innd ?? I
notice that if I run  slurp by itself, the articles will get stored in
in.coming, but as soon as I run rnews -U , the articles doens't get distributed
in their correct directory but rather in the in.coming/bad directory.

Please reply,
Thanks,
Richard.

The best way is to ask your newsfeed to only send you the groups you want :)
Saves bandwidth & processing time on your feeder.

You should be able to do this. Check the error logs (/var/log/news/* ?)
and /var/adm/messages for the reason the batches are bad....
Note: If you still have a feed & are slurping, you may get duplicates/rejects,
unless the msgs are from diff groups. Not a problem, just a waste :)
