Template: noffle/port
Type: string
_Default: 119
_Description: Please choose the port number noffle runs on:
 The default port number for NNTP is 119 (nntp). 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.
