I like to run a local news spool, but I only have newsreader access with my provider.
I like to use trn or strn to read from the local spool. What is the best way to do this with Debian? Since Debian 2.0 or earlier I have been using leafnode and trn/strn with a customized Pnews script. Each Debian release breaks my Pnews. The latest is checking & resetting perms in $NEWSSPOOL. Long ago I ran bnews and cnews but with real upstream newsfeeds. I have used suck in the past with a script which dumped the news into the spool directories, with trn in non-NNTP mode. This approach is just too archaic to resurrect. rir
