1 Template: noffle/debconf
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.
8
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.
18
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
28
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.
37
38 Template: noffle/password
39 Type: password
40 Description: What is your password when accessing your parent NNTP server?
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.
48
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.
58
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.
