Template: noffle/debconf Type: boolean Default: yes Description: Manage noffle configuration using debconf? I'm going to overwrite /etc/news/noffle.conf and /etc/default/noffle with some defaults and your following answers, and will update /etc/inetd.conf if you say 'yes' here. Template: noffle/port Type: string Default: 119 Description: Please choose the port number noffle runs on The default port number for NNTP is 119. However, perhaps you want to run noffle alongside a normal NNTP server; in that case, choose another number (above 1024, I recommend 10119), and configure your news reader also to use that port number. Template: noffle/server Type: string Default: news Description: Which parent NNTP server do you want to use? Noffle expects to obtain its news from another NNTP server. Enter the name of that server here. . If the server uses a non-standard port number for the NNTP connection, please fill that in here as servername:portnumber Template: noffle/username Type: string Description: What is your username when accessing your parent NNTP server? If you need to authenticate you may fill in your username on your parent NNTP server; if not, just leave this field blank. . This is not the preferred way of authentication, since your password will be transmitted in clear text. See README.Debian for more details. Template: noffle/password Type: password Description: What is your password when accessing your parent NNTP server? If you need to authenticate you may fill in your password on your parent NNTP server; if not, just leave this field blank. Warning: This password will be saved in plaintext in /etc/news/noffle.conf and in the debconf database! . This is not the preferred way of authentication, since your password will be transmitted in clear text. See README.Debian for more details. Template: noffle/fetchmode Type: select Choices: ppp, cron Description: How is noffle supposed to fetch the articles? If this is a dialup system, then noffle can be configured to fetch articles when the PPP connection comes online. This is done via scripts in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/ and /etc/ppp/ip-down.d/. If you have a permanent connection, noffle will assume it can always access the NNTP server and a cron job will do. Template: noffle/maxfetch Type: string Default: 300 Description: Fetch how many articles by default? When noffle fetches articles, it will never fetch more than this amount; if there are more, the oldest are discarded. Template: noffle/default-expire Type: string Default: 14 Description: What should the default expire time (in days) be? Noffle is configured to purge the local cache of articles older than a certain limit. This parameter configures the minimum age of articles to expire; this can be fine-tuned in /etc/news/noffle.conf if necessary. Enter '0' to disable it.
