News Server Configuration

[Alex Monaghan <monaghaa@royalmail.co.uk>]

Hi,

I have a simple setup on my home network. A 386DX/40 running Debian 1.2 (with 2.0.30 
kernel). I have a 486DX/66 dual booting between Slackware (will upgrade to Debian in 
time) and Win 95 and a 386SX/25 running Win 95.

I have got a ppp dialup on the Debian box and have got mail forwarding running OK so I 
can now read mail from the Win 95 machines and queue it back onto Linux for dispatch.

What I am trying to do is to run a simple news server so I can collect/post news when I 
do my mail collection and make this readable from the Win 95 machines.

I'm running inn as installed from the Debian 1.2 CD.

I can't seem to get news running OK, I've put my news details into the get-news.conf, and 
running get-news seems to connect to my ISP's news server and download messages, but they  
seem to then dissapear completely.

Is there a HOWTO or a FAQ that covers this configuration ? I've had a look through but 
not been able to find anything suitable.
