The /etc/news/incoming.conf file lists the host computers that you allow to connect to feed your news. You use the /etc/news/newsfeeds file to set up where your news articles should be sent. You have to set up both of these files. Configuring hosts to feed you To configure the host computers that feed articles to your news server, you need to configure the /etc/news/incoming.conf file. In this file, you can set various key/value parameters that affect how these news feeds behave. Other entries are either peer entries or group entries. The key/value entries set values that are assigned to every peer and group entry. Those values can be overridden for particular peers or groups by adding new key/value entries within peer and group entries. Peer entries identify the FQDN of a computer that can feed news to your server, along with any key/value entries. Group entries are a way of assigning groups of peers to have particular key/value entries. The whole thing seems a bit complicated when all you are doing is defining which hosts can send news to you and how they are allowed to do that. Here is an example of the contents of an incoming.conf file from its man page: streaming: true # streaming allowed by default max-connections: 8 # per feed # A peer definition. peer uunet { hostname: usenet1.uu.net } peer vixie { hostname: gw.home.vix.com max-connections: 10 # override global value. } # A group of two peers who can open more # connections than normal group fast-sites { max-connections: 15 # Another peer. The “max-connections'’ value from the # “fast-sites'’ group scope is used. peer data.ramona.vix.com { hostname: data.ramona.vix.com } peer bb.home.vix.com { hostname: bb.home.vix.com max-connections: 20 # he can really cook. } } The only key/value pair in this example is max-connections: 8, which defines the maximum number of
