Description dumas 1999-06-30 23:14:43 UTC

Using rnews in order to convert emails to news, I got the
following error (with the  -v option)

unknown_reply after ihave 480 Transfer permission denied

No error is logged on the both messages and log/news/*
files. The command used to work perfectly with the inn
distribution provided with RedHat 5.2. I've tested the rnews
from the localhost and from a remote host (powered by redhat
5.2), the result is the same - and it used to work with 5.2.

On the 6.0 server side (inn-2.2-9) the configuration of the
/etc/news/nnrp.access looks correct according to the
documentation :

*:: -no- : -no- :!*
zorg.foo1.com:RP:::*

Some more informations how to reproduce the problem.

cat article | rnews -v -r zorg.foo1.com
(or cat article | rnews -v -S zorg.foo1.com with RH5.2)

Comment 3 Cristian Gafton 1999-07-29 02:53:59 UTC

This is a configuration problem on the INN server side (as shown by
the fact that the client is getting the permission denied message)
