|
2 Type: boolean
|
|
|
3 Default: yes
|
|
|
4 Description: Manage noffle configuration using debconf?
|
|
|
5 I'm going to overwrite /etc/news/noffle.conf and /etc/default/noffle
|
|
|
6 with some defaults and your following answers, and will update
|
|
|
7 /etc/inetd.conf if you say 'yes' here.

9 Template: noffle/port
|
|
|
10 Type: string
|
|
|
11 Default: 119
|
|
|
12 Description: Please choose the port number noffle runs on
|
|
|
13 The default port number for NNTP is 119.
|
|
|
14 However, perhaps you want to run noffle alongside a normal
|
|
|
15 NNTP server; in that case, choose another number (above 1024,
|
|
|
16 I recommend 10119), and configure your news reader also to use
|
|
|
17 that port number.

19 Template: noffle/server
|
|
|
20 Type: string
|
|
|
21 Default: news
|
|
|
22 Description: Which parent NNTP server do you want to use?
|
|
|
23 Noffle expects to obtain its news from another NNTP server.
|
|
|
24 Enter the name of that server here.
|
|
|
25 .
|
|
|
26 If the server uses a non-standard port number for the NNTP
|
|
|
27 connection, please fill that in here as servername:portnumber
|
|
|

29 Template: noffle/username
|
|
|
30 Type: string
|
|
|
31 Description: What is your username when accessing your parent NNTP server?
|
|
|
32 If you need to authenticate you may fill in your username on
|
|
|
33 your parent NNTP server; if not, just leave this field blank.
|
|
|
34 .
|
|
|
35 This is not the preferred way of authentication, since your password will
|
|
|
36 be transmitted in clear text. See README.Debian for more details.

|
|
|
41 If you need to authenticate you may fill in your password on
|
|
|
42 your parent NNTP server; if not, just leave this field blank.
|
|
|
43 Warning: This password will be saved in plaintext in
|
|
|
44 /etc/news/noffle.conf and in the debconf database!
|
|
|
45 .
|
|
|
46 This is not the preferred way of authentication, since your password will
|
|
|
47 be transmitted in clear text. See README.Debian for more details.

49 Template: noffle/fetchmode
|
|
|
50 Type: select
|
|
|
51 Choices: ppp, cron
|
|
|
52 Description: How is noffle supposed to fetch the articles?
|
|
|
53 If this is a dialup system, then noffle can be configured to
|
|
|
54 fetch articles when the PPP connection comes online. This is
|
|
|
55 done via scripts in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/ and /etc/ppp/ip-down.d/.
|
|
|
56 If you have a permanent connection, noffle will assume it
|
|
|
57 can always access the NNTP server and a cron job will do.
|
|

59 Template: noffle/maxfetch
|
|
|
60 Type: string
|
|
|
61 Default: 300
|
|
|
62 Description: Fetch how many articles by default?
|
|
|
63 When noffle fetches articles, it will never fetch more than this
|
|
|
64 amount; if there are more, the oldest are discarded.
|
|
|
65
|
|
|
66 Template: noffle/default-expire
|
|
|
67 Type: string
|
|
|
68 Default: 14
|
|
|
69 Description: What should the default expire time (in days) be?
|
|
|
70 Noffle is configured to purge the local cache of articles older than
|
|
|
71 a certain limit. This parameter configures the minimum age of articles
|
|
|
72 to expire; this can be fine-tuned in /etc/news/noffle.conf if necessary.
|
|
|
73 Enter '0' to disable it.
