The documentation says that an entry of !group.blah.blah will cause news to refuse that group. On our system, the news for that group is logged (log & errlog) and then put into junk. This causes us to have a large errlog file and *many* extra entries in the log file. This is my sys file entry for me... --------- Begin included file: sys --------- ME:world,na,usa,usaf,dc,va,md,to.hq,!junk,\ alt,biz,comp,ddn,gnu,misc,news,pubnet,rec,sci,soc,talk,u3b,unix-pc,\ !alt.activism,!alt.aquaria,!alt.bbs,!alt.co-ops,!alt.config,!alt.cosuard,\ !alt.cult-movies,!alt.cyb-sys,!alt.cyberpunk,!alt.dev.null,!alt.drugs,\ !alt.emusic,!alt.fax,!alt.fishing,!alt.flame,!alt.gambling,!alt.gourmand,\ !alt.great-lakes,!alt.hypertext,!alt.individualism,!alt.msdos.programmer,\ !alt.postmodern,!alt.prose,!alt.prose.d,!alt.religion.computers,\ !alt.restaurants,!alt.rhode_island,!alt.rissa,!alt.rmgroup,!alt.rock-n-roll,\ !alt.romance,!alt.sca,!alt.sex,!alt.sex.bondage,!alt.slack,!alt.sources,\ !alt.sources.amiga,!alt.sources.d,!alt.test,!alt.weemba,\ !pubnet.sources,!pubnet.sysops ,!pubnet.talk,!pubnet.test,!pubnet.wanted,\ !rec.nude,\ !soc.couples,!soc.feminism,!soc.men,!soc.misc,!soc.motss,!soc.rights.human,\ !soc.roots,!soc.singles,!soc.women,\ !talk.abortion,!talk.bizarre,!talk.origins,!talk.philosophy.misc,\ !talk.rape,!talk.religion.misc,!talk.religion.newage --------- End of Included file: sys --------- Eventually when it is decided what groups we do and don't want, we will have our feed _not_ send us these groups, but until then we would rather have a full feed and weed it out ourselves through the sys file (if it would work). Thanks, and ANY help will be greatly appreciated... BTW: Is there anybody out there that has Bnews3.0 WORKING on a Sun? I like some of the features and am considering going to it. I'd like to get some input on this one. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -- Mitch Wright Currently under contract to: I-NET, Inc.
