Configuring slrn to use slrnpull
--------------------------------
If you decide to use slrnpull, you will need to configure slrn to look for
news in /var/spool/slrnpull. See
/usr/share/doc/slrn/examples/slrn.rc_for_slrnpull for an example slrnrc file
you can use for this purpose. You should also read README.slrnpull
Note that the default debian slrnpull package has a permissions problem if
you use slrnpull and try to post articles. For posting to work with slrnpull,
you must have write access to the directory /var/spool/slrnpull/out.going .
I don't want to make this directory mode 777 in the default debian package.
I suggest that if you want to use this method of posting news, you either
run "chmod 777 /var/spool/slrnpull/out.going" (possibly security hole
there), or add yourself to group news (fine unless your system also has a
news server on it, or something else that uses files writable by group
news). Please consider the security implications of whichever method you
chose.
