Debian-specific slrn configuration ---------------------------------- For Debian, slrn is configured to use the news server in /etc/news/server unless this is overridden by user configuration. It will also use /etc/news/organization for the ogranization header for posts, if that file exists, and /etc/mailname to configure the hostname in news posts. The program /usr/sbin/slrn_getdescs can be run periodically to update the newsgroup descriptions file. You can configure when it runs by editing /etc/default/slrn. All of the above can also be reconfigured interactively with debconf: dpkg-reconfigure slrn The slrnpull program is not included in Debian's slrn package. If you want to use slrnpull for downloading news, install the slrnpull package. The contrib slrn programs (slrnrc-conv, cleanscore) are in /usr/share/slrn/contrib; their documentation is in the /usr/share/doc/slrn/contrib directory. -- Joey Hess
