Newsreader Problems |

Remote access | How can other machines read/post articles? I've tried ctrl_access... didn't work... |
ctrl_access is used to enable other machines to run
Chanco commands.
News access is granted by setting up nntp_access. By default, Changi will only permit to read news on the local host. The manual provides more details. |
How can I define passwords for my users?
I created nntp_access and user_access:
nntp_access anynet.com read post * user_access anyuser password *Is this correct? It doesn't seem to work. |
Not fully correct. It should be
nntp_access anynet.com Read PostThe uppercase (R and P) letters will switch on password checking. Btw., there's no need to specify *, because this is the default. |

LISTGROUP bug | When the command LISTGROUP any.group is issued on a NNTP-connection, Changi answers with a duplicate response, which confuses my newsreader. | This known bug has been fixed in version 1.2. |
Can't see local posts | If someone posts to a newsgroup, how long does it take before the posting is available for the other users? Is it possible to speed things up, so that a posting is available in e.g. 5 minutes after it has been posted? I tried changi and made some local groups, but my postings did not show up the same day. | This has been fixed in version 1.2. |
