Cleanfeed

Cleanfeed is not for "control" but for "filter" so it is
normally in ~news/bin/filter and there are several files
(cleanfeed, cleanfeed.local, bad_hosts, etc.).

Cleanfeed is a innd Perl filter (more information on that
at <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/inn/docs/hook-perl.html>)
so it is in fact ~news/bin/filter/filter_innd.pl.


What I for one do is putting a symbolic link for filter_innd.pl
to cleanfeed:

    mv ~news/bin/filter/filter_innd.pl ~news/bin/filter/filter_innd.pl.old
    ln -s ~news/bin/filter/cleanfeed ~news/bin/filter/filter_innd.pl


So the arborescence is something like:

18:52 news at trigofacile ~/bin/filter% ll
total 188K
-rw-r--r-- 1 news news  414 2006-07-31 16:29 bad_adult_paths
-rw-r--r-- 1 news news  416 2007-04-26 12:00 bad_cancel_paths
-rw-r--r-- 1 news news  941 2007-04-16 21:14 bad_hosts
-rw-r--r-- 1 news news 1,2K 2007-04-26 12:00 bad_paths
-rwxr--r-- 1 news news  52K 2007-09-05 09:15 cleanfeed*
-rw-r--r-- 1 news news 8,9K 2007-09-05 09:13 cleanfeed.local
lrwxrwxrwx 1 news news    9 2007-04-26 12:03 filter_innd.pl -> cleanfeed*
-rw-r--r-- 1 news news 8,7K 2007-04-26 10:06 filter_innd.py
-rw-rw-r-- 1 news news 7,3K 2007-04-22 17:11 filter_innd.pyc
-rw-r--r-- 1 news news 7,0K 2007-04-26 14:15 filter_nnrpd.pl
-rw-r--r-- 1 news news  859 2007-04-26 10:06 INN.py
-rw-r--r-- 1 news news 4,1K 2007-05-04 20:35 nnrpd_access.pl
-rw-r--r-- 1 news news 2,6K 2007-05-04 20:35 nnrpd_auth.pl
-rw-r--r-- 1 news news 7,1K 2007-04-26 10:06 nnrpd_auth.py
-rw-r--r-- 1 news news 1,3K 2007-04-26 10:06 startup_innd.pl


Then do a:

    ctlinnd perl y

(if not already launched) or a:

    ctlinnd reload filter.perl ''

and you should have something like that:

18:57 news at trigofacile ~% ctlinnd mode
Server running
Allowing remote connections
Parameters c 10 i 50 (11) l 600000 o 1011 t 300 H 2 T 60 X 0 normal specified
Not reserved
Readers follow enabled
Perl filtering enabled
Perl filter stats: Pass: 20107  Reject: 2819  Refuse: 251  MD5: 100  PHL: 0  FSL: 130

with Perl stats.



Merry Christmas to all the readers of the list!
