[slrn] please, help whith slrnpull
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

Re: [slrn] please, help whith slrnpull
slrn --spool I already tried that with the following configuration: --- ~/.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 set spool_nov_file .overview set spool_check_up_on_nov 0 --- ~/.slrnrc --- and I got: $ slrn --spool slrn 0.9.5.3 (Oct 8 1998 11:59:00) Reading startup file /etc/news/slrn.rc. Reading startup file /home/horacio/.slrnrc. Posting directory does not exist. slrn fatal error: Unable to select server/post object. So, I commented `set server_object spool ' out but the result was the same. If I tried to set it to something different (eg. ~/News/slrnpull), I got: $ slrn --spool slrn 0.9.5.3 (Oct 8 1998 11:59:00) Reading startup file /etc/news/slrn.rc. Reading startup file /home/horacio/.slrnrc.slrn fatal error: Server object '~/News/slrnpull' is not supported. I know something is missing/wrong in my ~/.slrnrc file, but what?
