UseNet Groups

Post by The Bandit »

Has anyone had any experience with setting up usenet? There is a free feeder at nntp.aioe.org, and this is what I have listed as the NNTP News Server in WG, However, I get this message in the audit trail:

NNTP CLIENT DISCONNECT -2 502 Permission denied.

I have gone back and forth with aioe.org, and they validated that its open access, and they advise the problem must be with wg. any ideas?

Wg has to have the groups pushed to it.
Wg don't fetch. it could use a better nntp modual.

What would happen (or should happen) if you have a forum echoed to say alt.bbs and someone posts a message to the forum? Shouldn't that message go out via nntp? Also, how would a push be accomplished?

i dont use wg to handle nntp, right now im using synchronet for my nntp and fido feeds, ill tinker with it and let ya know what i can come up with.
maybe i can tweak the nntp modules like i did the rlogin and telnet ones.

I have an NNTP server that I use to push (Ihave) NNTp to my BBS and my BBS feeds the server. I also have some local (to our BBS's) news groups. I can set you up a feed and push you a small group of forums if you want.
