+ − 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

338

+ − 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

+ − 31 NNTP server; if not, just leave this field blank. Warning: This password
+ − 32 will be saved in plaintext in /etc/news/noffle.conf and in the debconf

+ − 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

+ − 56 Type: string
338
+ − 57 _Default: 14
+ − 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.
