Chad - Well, for starters i dont consider INN an easy package to configure and administer, at least for using it for a true news server which you arent. I am pulling in about 8 feeds, and it took some time and patience to setup and configure and it takes a bit of time to administer, May i suggest a tool better suited for your needs, called WWWboard. It is a web-based "board" where your users can post and respond to system messages, et al. I believe it is cgi-based, but from what i have heard from my users, it is easy to install, configure, and use. I would suggest a web lookup for wwwboard and you should have no problem finding it (i.e. Matt's Script Archives at http://www.worldwidemart.com/scripts) - and i will be much better off than running INN for local stuff. Thats way more than you need from your description. HTH Regards -- Michael B.
