I am trying to configure suck and cnews to provide a local copy of news, so that I can pull it at night or during the times when roadrunner is not jam packed. After some trial and error, I am pulling the news using:
suck news-server.houston.rr.com -c @/etc/suck/suckcommands where suckcommands contains -AL /var/lib/news/active -m -bl lmove-config -E lmove.errors -D Invoking that manually in /etc/suck creates a series of files in /etc/suck/Msgs in the form 01-26, 02-26, etc, each of which is an article that has been received from the rr.com news server. Now I am trying to use lmove to actually put them in folders that I think cnews uses. In lmove-config I have: BASE=/var/lib/news ACTIVE=/var/lib/news/active suck is actually calling lmove, as I suppose it should. But the files never move. In the error file lmove.errors, I see two sorts of error messages: Can not open /var/lib/news/history, Skipping ***Unexpected response to command, head <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>$ 430 No Such Article **Unexpected response to command, head <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 430 No Such Article (etc 10 times or so. Then later in the error file is) Error writing to /etc/suck/Msgs/01-26, aborting : Invalid cross-device link Error writing to /etc/suck/Msgs/02-26, aborting : Invalid cross-device link (etc, one per artcle) Although it is clearly reading the articles and processing them, they never show up in the file tree of /var/lib/news. Plus, they never show up in my xnews reader when I connect to my debian box from my Windoze PC, although the newsgroup lists do. Please, a hint here on what the errors mean and how to resolve them would be wonderful. Why is lmove not moving the files? When it does, will NNTPd actually allow xnews to read the files? Can that suck command work in my /etc/cron.d/cnews file? Dave [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
