4 _Description: Please choose the port number noffle runs on:
|
|
|
5 The default port number for NNTP is 119 (nntp). However, perhaps you want
|
|
|
6 to run noffle alongside a normal NNTP server; in that case, choose another
|
|
|
7 number (above 1024, I recommend 10119), and configure your news reader also
|
|
|
8 to use that port number.

13 _Description: Which parent NNTP server do you want to use?
|
|
|
14 Noffle expects to obtain its news from another NNTP server. Enter the name
|
|
|
15 of that server here. If the server uses a non-standard port number for the
|
|
|
16 NNTP connection, please fill that in here as 'servername:portnumber'.

23 .
|
|
|
24 This is not the preferred way of authentication, since your password will

31 NNTP server; if not, just leave this field blank. Warning: This password
|
|

41 _Description: How is noffle supposed to fetch the articles?
|
|
|
42 If this is a dialup system, then noffle can be configured to fetch articles
|
|
|
43 when the PPP connection comes online. This is done via scripts in
|
|
|
44 /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/ and /etc/ppp/ip-down.d/. If you have a permanent
|
|
|
45 connection, noffle will assume it can always access the NNTP server and a
|
|
|
46 cron job will do.

51 _Description: Fetch how many articles by default?
|
|
|
52 When noffle fetches articles, it will never fetch more than this amount; if
|
|
|
53 there are more, the oldest are discarded.

58 _Description: What should the default expire time (in days) be?
|
|
|
59 Noffle is configured to purge the local cache of articles older than a
|
|
|
60 certain limit. This parameter configures the minimum age of articles to
|
|
|
61 expire; this can be fine-tuned in /etc/news/noffle.conf if necessary.
