Woodbury) Newsgroups: news.software.b Subject: Cnews and the cancel control command Summary: has anyone got a real cancel checker? Message-ID: <1991Feb4.002104.12830@wolves.uucp> Date: 4 Feb 91 00:21:04 GMT Followup-To: news.software.b Organization: Wolves Den UNIX Lines: 18 X-Checksum-Snefru: b7e393ec 98a2226c 40790aee 1694ea2c For the first time, I find that I have a real problem with a piece of the C-news software. I understand that Henry and Geoff want relaynews to be small, fast and efficient, but given the abuses that certain sites and persons are perpetrating on the net I would like to at least try a minimal set of checking on who is canceling what. I've read through the control.c file in relay, but don't quite fathom all the details and don't feel quite confident enough at the moment to tackle it alone. Has anyone else felt the desire to have the cancel command be a bit more controlled in Cnews? Can you post or send me the changes that you implemented? Am I barking at the moon? -- Gregory G.
