It looks like my first signs of trouble are showing up. What is happening is I am feeding Plex-2 via Plex-1 and nothing is getting to the net from Plex-2 unless I use the :f: delimiter in the sys file entries. If I use the :f: and not the :fL: I tend to feed back the half of news I'm NOT receiving from one site to the other. *** Cut here SHORT EXAMPLE: (plex-1 /usr/lib/news/sys) #--------------------------------------------------------- # DESTROYER (U of M) Bryan Beecher, Plex-1's main feed #--------------------------------------------------------- destroyer:\ mi,to.destroyer/all:f: #--------------------------------------------------------- # Plex-2 (Dave Parks), Ann Arbor, MI Plexus P/60 Feed #--------------------------------------------------------- plex-2:\ comp,misc,news,sci,alt,rec,soc,biz,pubnet,talk,usa,\ mi,aa,gunk,umich,ann-arbor.misc,to.plex-2/all:f: #--------------------------------------------------------- # IUNET (Ivars U.) Ann Arbor, MI Secondary Feed #--------------------------------------------------------- iunet:\ news,,to.iunet/all:f: *** Cut here Notice that Destroyer is feeding us mi* and Iunet is feeding us news*, well... if I have the :f: delimiter set, Plex-1 will feed mi* plus local stuff to Iunet and news* plus local stuff to Destroyer. Now imagine you have a half feed coming from Iunet and half for Destroyer. If I use a :Lf: delimit- er, NOTHING coming from Plex-2 (or any other system we feed) will make it through to the net (but LOCAL postings on plex-1 will). My major question here is (after three weeks of getting Plex-2 ready, my head feels like mush), am I missing something here? There should be a way to receive half feeds from two sites without feeding the half you DO receive from one system to the system you DON'T receive that half from. _____ _____ ' / ) ' ) ) .-/- / -/--' (_/__/_AVE / ARKS -- destroyer!m-net!kite Public Access Altos 68020 UNIX Sys-III (313) 994-6333 vela!plex-1!root Usenet News Plexus P/35 68000 UNIX SysV.2 663-6207 vela!plex-2!root Usenet News Plexus P/60 68020 UNIX SysV.2 663-6873 -- You can mail Dave Parks at these addresses, or phone (313) 663-2247 --

If I use a :Lf: delimit- >er, NOTHING coming from Plex-2 (or any other system we feed) will make it >through to the net (but LOCAL postings on plex-1 will). If you're running C news, see man(5) news. Three general ways to limit upstream feeds follow. You can do :fL2: to limit feeds to postings generated within 2 hops of plex-1; in general, :fLn: limits feeds to postings generated within n hops of a given site. Note that :fL2: means thats sites more than two hops from plex-1 whose sole upstream feed is plex-1 won't have their articles propagated. Multiple sys lines: destroyer:news/all:fL: destroyer:mi/all:f: Should feed locally generated news.* postings and any mi.* postings to destroyer. Exclusions: destroyer/iunet:news,mi/all:fL: feeds news.* and mi.* articles which didn't come through iunet to destroyer. -- Ed Anselmo (anselmo@nic.near.net)

Once again, Ed comes to the rescue! ;) Thanks Ed. I guess it would help to have a FULL set of c-news man pages online (but I don't)... This fixed us up right nicely. I did look through what we had on-line but they aee scetchy at best, Does anyone know where I can get a full set of c-news man pages? _____ _____ ' / ) ' ) ) .-/- / -/--' (_/__/_AVE / ARKS -- destroyer!m-net!kite Public Access Altos 68020 UNIX Sys-III (313) 994-6333 vela!plex-1!root Usenet News Plexus P/35 68000 UNIX SysV.2 663-6207 vela!plex-2!root Usenet News Plexus P/60 68020 UNIX SysV.2 663-6873 -- You can mail Dave Parks at these addresses, or phone (313) 663-2247 --
