  • Innfeed funnel master help

    From Roberto CORRADO@21:1/5 to All on Sat Mar 22 01:15:54 2025
    Hi admins,
    one and quick question*, (I've been trying for more hours whitout
    success) in the section of my funnel properties,

    I have:

    """
    # innfeed funnel master.
    innfeed!\
    :!*\
    :Tc,Wnm*:/usr/inn/innfeed
    """

    what needs to be specified to forward controls such as {changegroup,newgroup,rmgroup} commands of course
    if you agree that I can create a small hierarchy for historians
    usenet's "friend's", naturally I consider myself to be a
    responsible person...

    thank you all for helping me out on this beautiful usenet travel.

    """
    This command is forwarded;
    see "NOTES" below.
    """
    and

    """
    NOTES:
    In addition to being acted on by the server, certain commands can be forwarded to an appropriate child process. If the site receiving the command is an exploder (such as buffchan) or a funnel that feeds into an exploder, the command can be forwarded. In this case, the server will
    send a command line to the exploder that consists of the ctlinnd command
    name. If the site funnels into an exploder that has an asterisk ("*") in its
    "W" flag (see newsfeeds(5) for more information on feed specifications),
    the site name will be appended to the command; otherwise, no argument is appended.

    That should work. Control messages are propagated (forwarded) like all

    Hi Thomas,
    thanks for the help!
    there is something I'm missing, how do other Admins create new groups
    on my server and me can't do that?
    which command need I call to forward to my peers? :-)
