Hi, I installed slrn and slrnpull. For a short while I tried "plain" slrn, but what I really need is to be able to download the news to read, reply, compose, etc. off line.
So, I set up the slrnpull.conf like follows: --------- /etc/news/slrnpull.conf --------- default 0 0 group.news.one * * group.news.two * * ... --------- /etc/news/slrnpull.conf --------- Then used the command: $ slrnpull -h news.vlc.servicom.es -d ~/News/slrnpull which seemed to work just fine. But the problem is with the newsreader slrn, which works fine by itself (on line), but I can't make it open the spool. These are the settings I placed in .slrnrc: --------- ~/.slrnrc --------- set spool_inn_root "~/News/slrnpull" set spool_root "~/News/slrnpull/news" set spool_nov_root "~/News/slrnpull/news" set read_active 1 set use_slrnpull 1 % %set server_object "spool" % set spool_active_file "data/active" set spool_activetimes_file "data/active.times" set spool_newsgroups_file "data/newsgroups" %% -- The following filenames are relative to spool_nov_root set spool_nov_file ".overview" set spool_check_up_on_nov 0 --------- ~/.slrnrc --------- but I can't make slrn read the spool off line: $ slrn slrn 0.9.5.3 (Oct 8 1998 11:59:00) Reading startup file /etc/news/slrn.rc. Reading startup file /home/user/.slrnrc. Connecting to host news.vlc.servicom.es ...news.vlc.servicom.es: Unknown host. slrn fatal error: Failed to initialize server. Could anyone help me with this, please? I've gone through all slrn and slrnpull documentation I've found, but nothins (actually, I haven't seen any mention of slrnpull in slrn home page nor anywhere else, just /usr/doc/slrnpull/README.gz). -- Horacio [EMAIL PROTECTED] Valencia - ESPAÑA
