NNTP options

Posting: Allows users to post NNTP articles to parent

 

NNTP servers.

 

Access Control: Turns access control on or off. To refine

 

access control, use the command-line interface. See

 

Configuring NNTP access‚ on page 69 for more

 

information.

 

If you are using an authentication server, you must enter its

 

name and port (see page 33).

 

NNTP V2 Authentication Server: Supports NNTP version 2

 

authentication. Use this option only if all of your client

 

authentication supports version 2.

 

Run Local Authentication Server: Runs an authentication

 

program on the selected node. Use the command-line

 

interface to configure which clients must be authenticated.

 

See Configuring NNTP access‚ on page 69 for more

 

information.

 

Allow Feeds: Allows the appliance to accept feeds of news

 

articles from feed or push groups.

 

Use the command-line interface to designate feed and

 

push groups. The appliance does not cache news articles

 

from feed groups; instead, it receives feeds of news articles

 

as the parent NNTP server receives feeds. Push groups

 

are groups for which the appliance can both retrieve

 

articles on demand and receive news feeds.

 

See Configuring NNTP servers‚ on page 65 for information

 

about designating news groups as push or feed.
