    ok, This have I now running each hour ant right after is I using a mix of the script runpoll-binkd and runpoll.
    THen is there then if in fidogate.conf and areas is right setup.
    The examples showing a technical point as this: for my zone 900 system where hpt runs the mail as 900:900/0 + 900:104/1
    address 900:900/0.1
    gateaddress 900:900/0.1

    and from both the documention for point and in the point example like this -----------------------
    example point!User Name
    X RM_GENEALOGY 900:900/0
    -------------------------

    the echo is then packed to 900:900/0

    but then is the secund example for morann showing
    in fidogate.conf:
    address 900:900/0
    gateadress 900:900/0.1

    and the areas.bbs
    ---------------------
    !
    - RM_GENEALOGY 900:900/0

    I have make it this way after what I have got from the documentation and examples:
    fidogate.conf:
    Address 2:236/150.98
    Address 8:7606/150.98
    Address 110:300/1.98

    I will then tink that the news will be packet to 900:900/0 thee is the uplink for news and by runpoll-kofo there do a lot of send-fidogate scans the news for
    new article and then pack it to 900:900/0 and too with point fidogate setup binkd polls to 900:900/0 and the main systems binkd.

    You mean that this should do it the right way + the poll of uplink.

    ok, This have I now running each hour ant right after is I using a mix
    of the script runpoll-binkd and runpoll. THen is there then if in
    fidogate.conf and areas is right setup. The examples showing a technical

    do, it should be different from the main Addresses. If not set, it
    is

    it...

    uplink is 900:900/0 for Zone 900
    gate adress is then point .1 = 900:900/0.1

    So I have ind fidogate.conf
    Address 900:900/0.1

    this for fidogate to gate and packinf for uplink as 900:900/0.

    newspack the little scripts from yours above.
    runpoll-kofo coulbe be named as pull-uplink there is 900:900/0 there have some packing commands and send-fidogate in it + it polls fido systems binkd and end with rununpack pin and runin pin.

    Are you saying that locally posted messages aren't getting out? Are
    they showing up in the outgoing spool log? On my system, running INN
    v1.7, that is at /var/spool/news/out.going/fidogate; it's what
    send-fidogate uses to determine what to send out.

    Not exactly this, just when pullnews have got from 5 to 50 articles home in the
    groups it is like they have got to unwanted and exprired system and then is fidogate not find the new articles and just show in log that there is no articles to gate.

    Are they showing up in the outgoing spool log? On my system, running INN

    Not exactly this, just when pullnews

    I don't use INN v2.x; I use v1.7, which does not use that program. If/when I have time, I may set up a test system using the later versions
    of INN; Debian also has v2.4.3 of INN available, but I don't usually
    use that because it's more complex than I really need...


    have got from 5 to 50 articles home in the groups
    it is like they have got to unwanted and exprired system and
    then is fidogate not find the new articles and just show in
    log that there is no articles to gate.

    Are the echos & their associated newsgroups listed in the file /etc/fidogate/areas? Are their newsgroups listed in /var/lib/news/active?
    Are the newsgroups listed properly in the fidogate entry in
    /etc/news/newsfeeds ?

    I have installed INN by using Gentoo command and function "emerge inn" the go internet and looking for sources to INN amd64 and updates, compiling it and set
    the rright users group + permission.
    Then by You and some help from Forum amd64 on gentoo and forum in-workers on isc.org, Wulf Krueger there has INN 64 and Fidogate running was not to much helping he just saying read the documention it is all in here.

    Yes, they is all setup in my areas file.

    Are their newsgroups listed in /var/lib/news/active?
    That should they why I have used "/usr/lib64/news/bin/ctlinnd newgruop (groupname) m
    That makes the newsgropup date files and places the right place and do too the active file.
    If you try it out on my system for server on fido1.kofobbs.net is I not sure if
    it works then as the readers.conf file not is done amy things for setup yet.

    Are the newsgroups listed properly in the fidogate entry in
    /etc/news/newsfeeds ?

    The last lines in my innfeed.conf look as this:
    capture\
    :*/foo:
    :Tp,H2:/usr/local/bin/capture %s

    # FIDOGATE gateway
    fidogate\
    :!*,kofo.*,ftn.*,fmlynet.*,advnet.*,linuxnet.*,stn.*,rmini.*,justa.*\
    :Tf,Wnb,fidogate

    If there is more in infeed.conf to setup have I this first.

    ME:*!/!local,!collabra-internal:

    controlchan!\
    :!*,control,control.*,!control.cancel\
    :Tc,Wnsm:/usr/lib64/news/bin/controlchan

    # innfeed funnel master
    innfeed!\
    :!*\
    :T,Wnm*:/usr/lib64/news/bin/startinnfeed

    # News overview
    overview!:*:Tc,Wnte0:/usr/lib64/news/bin/overchan

    Then comes the normal outgoings servers
    nic.near.net

    news.tele.dk

    My active file could maybe have to be modified of a kind so it only is the real
    news from my alt. christnet.* soc.* + my own ftn echoes as news group there is in it.


    Take care,
    Gert
