Suck/INN HOWTO

2000-07-29 Thread John S. J. Anderson
Greetings --

Is there a beginner-targeted guide for getting this set-up? I've got
everything installed, and something is happening (I appear to have
some sort of local spool, and so on), but I'm not quite sure how to go
about configuring everything -- or even where to start.

Pointers, etc, to good (hopefully Debian-specific/oriented)
documentation welcomed.

john.

I was looking for something that wouldn't require me to go to the
bookstore.

You should have a copy of the INN FAQ always at hand. If you can read and
post to local groups (and you've learned how to add a new local group,
yes?), then adding suck to the mix should be not too much of a headache. All
hinges on whether your INN install is sane, and the FAQ can give you some
trouble-shooting tips (a lot of them, actually) if it isn't.

There's no 'beginners guide' that I'm aware of. Pay close attention to the
newsfeeds file; that is where the trouble will likely be when you try to add
groups with suck. But the FAQ is an absolute necessity, imho. Also, do not
hesitate to join the suck email list; they know this stuff cold!

I found http://www.littondale.freeserve.co.uk/LinuxAndFreeserve/News.html
very useful when I set it up recently.  Mail me with any questions.
