Ubuntu 10.04 ships INN 2.5.1. Parameters tlscapath, tlscertfile and
tlskeyfile are the correct and documented way to configure TLS support
with that version of INN.

Both messages specify the last line of a very long macro definition,
i.e. something like

	$asnDATEMASalt=\
         	alt.2600.*,\
	        alt.3d.*,\
         	alt.aapg.*,\
	...
	        alt.www.*,\
	        alt.x.*

The whole thing spans a few hundred lines.
Interestingly

	grep -c '^\$' newsfeeds

returns 33, but only 2 of them are flagged.
