Hello World ..


I'm trying to install the go4gw .. hummm I already do all the steps 
of installation *at least that's what i think* =)

I'm a bit confused with the g2nntp script .. in this part:

nntp_server = "your.newshost.in.here";
$nntp_port   = 119;
$nntp_defart = "article";
$nntp_groups = "/usr/local/etc/go4gw.modules/NEWSGROUPS";
$nntp_reverse = 0;  # to list articles in reverse order



In the nntp_groups ... all the stuff from nntp is in /var/spool/news 
so i put that directory in this part ....

what should i do ?? what is the go4gw.modules??  like a filter or
something like that ?? i try to search for that file and i don't find it
how do i configure a file like this ?

Thanks in Advance for your Help...



Jorge

$nntp_groups should be the name of a file containing the list
of active newsgroups, e.g.

  rec.humor
  rec.humor.d
  rec.humor.funny
  rec.humor.oracle
  rec.humor.oracle.d
  rec.hunting
  rec.juggling

If you have my hacked-over version of g2nntp <gopher://genie.lut.ac.uk/0/
g2nntp> you can put descriptions in this file for each newsgroup, e.g.

  rec.humor       Jokes and the like. May be somewhat offensive.
  rec.humor.d     Discussions on the content of rec.humor articles.
  rec.humor.funny Jokes that are funny (in the moderator's opinion). (Moderated)
  rec.humor.oracle        Sagacious advice from the USENET Oracle. (Moderated)
  rec.humor.oracle.d      Comments about the USENET Oracle's comments.
  rec.hunting     Discussions about hunting. (Moderated)
  rec.juggling    Juggling techniques, equipment and events.

(there is a tab between the newsgroup name and the description, BTW)

Another thing to watch out for is that the paths given in go4gw.conf
actually point to the gateway module, e.g. if you put your go4gw 
modules in the directory /foo/bar, you'd need something like this 
in the entry for g2nntp...

  nntp:-2:/foo/bar/g2nntp:go4 USENET gateway:

Hope that helps!
