I'd really use it the way you're told to do it in the nnrpd manual page: Run it via xinetd. nnrpd takes close to no time coming up, so you don't need to have it there as a daemon. This has two advantages: You can change readers.conf and others and it will pick up the changes on the next client connecet - and it can be run as user news via xinetd, which is not possible when you run it standalone, as it has to be run as root to bind to port 563.

The one from October 11th, 2007? I then asked if there was a way to get a progress report somehow on 5.2, and that 5.2 has already upgraded that kernel. The result was that I was banned for being correct. a) #centos-social is not a support channel, as that channel's topic clearly states. b) The ban was *not* for you being correct (because you are not, 5.2 will have 2.6.18-92, but for your behaviour over the last days/weeks and your *constantly* asking about progress on 5.2 (and getting the answer everybody getsdoes, see http://planet.centos.org/). I dont understand this kind of support. I don't understand why you came here to whine about that.

James Bunnell wrote: i was told early on, that it took an invite to get involved. Subscribing to centos-devel or starting a SIG or doing a project on http://projects.centos.org/ does not require *any* invitation and that is where involvement starts. Well, it even does start on a lower level - by supporting other users on IRC, forums or mailing lists. Which also does not require an invitation. Neither does writing up documentation on the Wiki. Access to packages preliminary to release or access to build hosts - that requires an invitation. But that is on top of the involvement process. If CentOS noticed a huge decline in users they might be concerned about this. They haven't; you're probably the only one I've heard bringing up this issue and honestly it sounds like you were the cause of the problem. that may be your perception. perhaps you would want to look at the logs so you would know. Others probably had another perception - and I think that today might have been just the icing on the cake. This is not an issue for CentOS currently. too bad. Errm. and users do not react well to being told rudely 'it will be ready when its ready', that is just rude. But it will only be ready when it is ready. If there would be a known date or even week, that would have been announced. But from the beginning on people have been told that it normally takes three to four weeks for CentOS to follow up on a release from upstream. And I don't see anything rude in stating exactly that - it is ready when it is ready. And the time frame within that is ready will happen is still the same as in Tim's blog post on planet.centos.org. What is rude about that? i do not perceive it as a paying customer, and i was not the one that brought that up. now that it has been brought up, what is the mission of CentOS ? To provide people with a free (as in beer, RHEL and CentOS are also free as in free speech) Enterprise Linux Distribution. I think that counts as goal No. 1. This is open source etiquette. It differs from business etiquette where you are more than welcoem to berate and yell and holler about things because you're paying someone a lot of money. the etiquette is rudeness to promote open source? is this what you are saying? No. But people rather do work on stuff so that it does get ready than to market around it and promise stuff that won't happen.

But ldd /path/to/innd should also be able to tell you if it is linked against python: libpython2.4.so.1.0 = /usr/lib/libpython2.4.so.1.0 (0xb7d4d000) (That's on a debian box, so it might differ on yours). 2) If i want my messages on news server to keep forever (history) , should i change expire.ctl?

This is what i have in readers.conf :

#hosts: localhost, 127.0.0.1, stdin
#hosts: 10.123.*
#default: localhost
python_auth: /opt/pdg/nnrpd_auth.py
}
Sorry, I have never used that for inn before.
Maybe the file hook-python in the INN docs (if that is in the package)
helps a bit? It describes everything needed for authentication with
python.
One thing you could try first is moving nnrpd_auth.py to the filter path
(which is defined in inn.conf, search for pathfilter).

See http://wiki.centos.org/WikiSandBox/Foo?action=edit;. fix http://wiki.centos.org/FAQ/General , question 11, which is a) incomplete/outdated since it does not mention Advanced Platform, only AS b) incorrect, since there is no difference between the kernels that ship with AS and ES. Only the SLA differs. That page is a bit harder to get by, ACL-wise. Can you just write what you want to write as an answer there and let me put that into the FAQ?

Presumably the alternative is for them to simply register an account on the Wiki and off they go. But if you take that route, at what point do they formally agree to the Wiki CC license - part of the Wiki account signup process? No. I never said that they don't have to send that mail (except if we find an easy way to change the account registration on the wiki, but I rather like a handwritten mail).
