My Debian install's -almost- making sense now! Just a few tiny things ... when I run get-news to download Usenet via suck, I get this:
[snip] Total articles to download: 929 1836135 Bytes received in 62 mins 54.05 secs, BPS = 486.5 Closed connection to news.mel.aone.net.au Building INN Batch File Downloaded Articles You can hang up the modem now Nothing sent -- leaving batchfile alone. Local posting error ... and none of the articles appear in the local spool. "Local posting error" isn't very informative! I've checked /etc/suck/get-news.conf and it looks right. I'm not an innd guru though, is there anything there I have to alter to let suck post my news locally?
