This is a "pseudo" inews which allows remote posting using the NNTP server. Essentially it takes a bunch of arguments and ignores ones starting with "-", expecting to find at least one which is a file name. If no files are specified, it uses standard input as the input file. It then opens a connection to the NNTP server on the remote machine and blasts the article across. It then closes the connection. If it doesn't find a From: or Path: line, it inserts them, in the default format From: login@hostname.DOMAIN (Full_name) Path: hostname!login where DOMAIN is a #define in ../common/conf.h, and should be changed to reflect your system. A good choice is .UUCP if you are not a member of the Internet. "Full_name" understands the & hack in password files. The point here is that the thing looks like inews to any program which would care to post something (e.g., Pnews, postnews, what have you). The difference is that the article will look like it was posted on the remote end, not on the local end. Caveat: we determine the host to post to with the #define of SERVER_HOST in ../common/conf.h. This needs to change to reflect your system. Thanks to Steven Grady for writing this, and for wasting a lot of his valuable time dealing with the can-o'-worms that is the real inews.
