I think, re-considering how feeds between peers works, I got an explanation
site ME
groups xxxxxx -> What I accept from him
site a_feed
groups yyyyyy -> What I send to him
Thinking twice, it's obvious, becouse the host "a_feed", if it has *
in its feed for _me_ has no way to know that I want only
somehierarchy.* and nothing else, until I politely e-mail him
"please, reduce my feed",
Stupid me, I owe myself a beer :-)
Done with that, now for the problem of _sucking_ :
The manual says that sucked groups may be precised in two places :
- in dnews.conf :
nntp_feeder suck.feed.net comp.one.group,comp.another.group\
comp.a.third.group
- in newsfeed.conf
site $nntp_feeder
groups comp.*
My understanding is : I suck those 3 groups and _only them_, but
users (more generally : the Dnews process) are allowed to post to the
entire hierarchy.
Is it right ?
Thanks,
