FWIW, there is a howto on installing leafnode on your SME server that works quite nicely, but may not do exactly what you're wanting to do. Leafnode will connect to a specified NNTP server (or servers) and pull new articles in groups that have seen recent activity on your server (that is, somebody's read them in the last week or so). It then would be your NNTP server for your LAN. It's pretty much self-maintaining, as long as nobody starts reading alt.binaries.whatever (if they do, hope you've got an OC12 or more). However, I don't believe it yet supports local newsgroups (though I believe it's being worked on). > ¦ > Also, is Webmin at http://www.webmin.com/ a useful tool for > e-smith or ¦ > will it break it? > ¦ > ¦ http://www.e-smith.org/faq/#8q15 > > That's the answer I expected, but apparently others in here have > tried it with acceptable results. If you use webmin to modify something that isn't directly controlled by the SME server (most MySQL stuff, for example), those changes wouldn't be overwritten by SME. However, if you use it to make changes to, say, your apache configuration, those changes will be lost the next time you make any changes using the SME interface. - -- Dan Brown, KE6MKS, [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Since all the world is but a story, it were well for thee to buy the more enduring story rather than the story that is less enduring." -- The Judgment of St. Colum Cille -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 7.0.4 iQA/AwUBPXt0t36CI7gsQbX8EQKpqQCg6UywpYwNXZrJ2CIo3dCUXJwxIlIAni/U Kwy4C8KEn/2ZtVWoDuJHcN9s =4NKa -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Please report bugs to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] (only) to discuss security issues Support for registered customers and partners to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives by mail and http://www.mail-archive.com/devinfo%40lists.e-smith.org
