Also, it seems that everybody can post from my server - how to disallow access for posting and more generally to manage posting or reading ?
I've managed /etc/news with:
------------------------------------------
default xfer no
------------------------------------------
according to http://howtos.linux.com/guides/nag2/x-087-2-nntp.access.shtml but not sure it works and it'd be enough.
How to manage access (posting/reading) on port 119 ?
Is /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/nntpd -f enough ? http://linuxcommand.org/man_pages/nntpd8.html
This question was not very clear but I understood that the access is allowed in imapd.conf by allowanonymouslogin and that the reading/posting access is managed with nnptd's option '-f'.
I've managed /etc/cyrus.conf with the following lines ... :
------------------------------------------------------------------------
# UNIX sockets start with a slash and are put into /var/lib/imap/sockets
SERVICES {
...
# these are only necessary if receiving/exporting usenet via NNTP nntp cmd="nntpd -T 0 -f" listen="nntp" prefork=3 nntps cmd="nntpd -s" listen="nntps" prefork=1
EVENTS {
...
nntp cmd="nntpd -T 0 -f" listen="nntp" prefork=3
------------------------------------------------------------------------... according to man nntpd:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-U uses
The maximum number of times that the process should be used for
new connections before shutting down. The default is 250.-T timeout
The number of seconds that the process will wait for a new con-
nection before shutting down. Note that a value of 0 (zero)
will disable the timeout. The default is 60.
------------------------------------------------------------------------But the feed regularly stops to be delivered (after the 250th connection ?) and I need to re-launch cyrus-imapd.
How to manage /etc/cyrus.conf (or any other tool) so that the feed never stops to be delivered ? Should I use the '-U' option ?
Thank you very much for your help.
