By the time you sent this I had added this file to my list of RTFMs. And although my .slrnrc file wasn't the "minimal" one listed, it did indeed include all the lines you (and the README) show. I had also made a little progress. For some reason, after I run 'slrnpull --expire' I then get a list of newsgroups (with article counts) when I invoke 'slrn --spool', but if I try to read an article I'm told that there are "no unread articles", and if I try using 'ESC - u' to tell the reader that I wanna read 'em anyway, it accepts the command, confirms that I want to mark the group unread, and still responds with "no unread articles" if I try to enter the group. BTW, after receiving your response, I tried the minimal .slrnrc approach, and there is no change. I'm thinking permissions, or ownership, or something like that. slrnpull is run out of ip-up, and this is a result of modifications to ip-up made by configuring slrn as part of the installation process. ip-up gets run when the PPP link is established as a result of me (pann, not root) running pon. Any ideas, or any more information I can provide? TIA Cheers, Pann -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
