3 Default: false |
| 338 | 4 _Description: Manage noffle configuration using debconf? |
| 5 I'm going to overwrite /etc/news/noffle.conf and /etc/default/noffle with | |
| 6 some defaults and your following answers, and will update /etc/inetd.conf | |
| 351 | 7 if you agree. |
| 301 | 8 |
| 9 Template: noffle/port | |
| 10 Type: string | |
| 338 | 11 _Default: 119 |
| 12 _Description: Please choose the port number noffle runs on: | |
| 13 The default port number for NNTP is 119 (nntp). However, perhaps you want | |
| 14 to run noffle alongside a normal NNTP server; in that case, choose another | |
| 15 number (above 1024, I recommend 10119), and configure your news reader also | |
| 16 to use that port number. | |
| 301 | 17 |
| 18 Template: noffle/server | |
| 19 Type: string | |
| 338 | 20 _Default: news |
| 21 _Description: Which parent NNTP server do you want to use? | |
| 22 Noffle expects to obtain its news from another NNTP server. Enter the name | |
| 23 of that server here. If the server uses a non-standard port number for the | |
| 24 NNTP connection, please fill that in here as 'servername:portnumber'. | |
| 301 | 25 |
| 26 Template: noffle/username | |
| 27 Type: string | |
| 338 | 28 _Description: What is your username when accessing your parent NNTP server? |
| 29 If you need to authenticate you may fill in your username on your parent | |
| 30 NNTP server; if not, just leave this field blank. | |
| 301 | 31 . |
| 32 This is not the preferred way of authentication, since your password will | |
| 338 | 33 be transmitted in clear text, see README.Debian for more details. |
| 301 | 34 |
| 35 Template: noffle/password | |
| 36 Type: password | |
| 338 | 37 _Description: What is your password when accessing your parent NNTP server? |
| 38 If you need to authenticate you may fill in your password on your parent | |
| 39 NNTP server; if not, just leave this field blank. Warning: This password | |
| 40 will be saved in plaintext in /etc/news/noffle.conf and in the debconf | |
| 41 database! | |
| 301 | 42 . |
| 43 This is not the preferred way of authentication, since your password will | |
| 338 | 44 be transmitted in clear text, see README.Debian for more details. |
| 301 | 45 |
| 46 Template: noffle/fetchmode | |
| 47 Type: select | |
| 338 | 48 _Choices: ppp, cron |
| 49 _Description: How is noffle supposed to fetch the articles? | |
| 50 If this is a dialup system, then noffle can be configured to fetch articles | |
| 51 when the PPP connection comes online. This is done via scripts in | |
| 52 /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/ and /etc/ppp/ip-down.d/. If you have a permanent | |
| 53 connection, noffle will assume it can always access the NNTP server and a | |
| 54 cron job will do. | |
| 301 | 55 |
| 56 Template: noffle/maxfetch | |
| 57 Type: string | |
| 338 | 58 _Default: 300 |
| 59 _Description: Fetch how many articles by default? | |
| 60 When noffle fetches articles, it will never fetch more than this amount; if | |
| 61 there are more, the oldest are discarded. | |
| 301 | 62 |
| 63 Template: noffle/default-expire | |
| 64 Type: string | |
| 338 | 65 _Default: 14 |
| 66 _Description: What should the default expire time (in days) be? | |
| 67 Noffle is configured to purge the local cache of articles older than a | |
| 68 certain limit. This parameter configures the minimum age of articles to | |
| 69 expire; this can be fine-tuned in /etc/news/noffle.conf if necessary. | |
| 301 | 70 Enter '0' to disable it. |
