Configuring slrn to use slrnpull
--------------------------------

If you decide to use slrnpull, you will need to configure slrn to look for
news in /var/spool/slrnpull. See
/usr/share/doc/slrnpull/examples/slrn.rc for an example slrnrc file
you can use for this purpose. You should also read README.slrnpull

Slrnpull is not configured by default to allow users to post news. For
posting to work with slrnpull, you must have write access to the directory
/var/spool/slrnpull/out.going . I don't want to make this directory mode 4777
in the default debian package, so as a compromise, it is shipped writable
by all users in the 'news' group. You may add users to that group to allow
them to post, or, if you wish, make the directory mode 4777 which will let
anyone post. For details about how this scheme works, see setgid.txt.

The same permission is now used for the /var/spool/slrnpull/requests directory
which is used to request the body of articles. Only users in the 'news' group
are allowed to write requests files, or, if you wish, make the directory mode
4777 which will let anyone write a request.

This package provides a systemd slrnpull.timer which can be enabled to run
slrnpull every day.
