Your server in /etc/suck/get-news.conf must equal the server name in /etc/news/hosts.nntp. Put localhost both of thes places and it should work. My Debian install's -almost- making sense now! Just a few tiny things ... when I run get-news to download Usenet via suck, I get this: [snip] Total articles to download: 929 1836135 Bytes received in 62 mins 54.05 secs, BPS = 486.5 Closed connection to news.mel.aone.net.au Building INN Batch File Downloaded Articles You can hang up the modem now Nothing sent -- leaving batchfile alone.
