    From Dark Hat Trix@21:1/5 to All on Tue Dec 28 12:11:31 2021
    Greetings.

    I am reading docs on inn2 and setting up a test install to figure out
    all the configs. Test install is successful so far. But I am just baby
    steps into it at this point. I just discovered the 'ctlinnd' command and
    I am studying the man pages for 'innd' and 'ctlinnd'.

    I have probed your open servers manually and they seem to operate
    similar to the way I would expect my setup to operate so I want to study configs to get it all burned into my brain. One difference is that I
    plan to require all reader connections on port 563 with encryption. I am
    very familiar with the NNTP protocol reader commands yet I know very
    little about inn2 operation. It looks like it works with openssl so
    hopefully not too much fuss will get that working.

    I learn 20x faster just looking at structure of code than I do from
    reading docs. Looking at the immense amount of information and docs on
    inn2, it is /too/ helpful TMI to get the basic things lined up and done.

    It would be really helpful if some experienced admins would copypasta
    some sane configs here with the security-sensitive parts sanitized out,
    of course. Then I can study them and puzzle them out along with the docs
    while probing my test install to see how all the guts operate.

    Thanks for your time.

    Hi,

    I am reading docs on inn2 and setting up a test install to figure out
    all the configs.

    I learn 20x faster just looking at structure of code than I do from

    Doesn't this unique INSTALL page answer your needs?
    https://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/inn/docs/install.html

    It contains basic information for all the files that needs being
    configured (incoming.conf, newsfeeds, innfeed.conf, storage.conf and of
    course readers.conf).


    One difference is that I plan to require all reader connections on
    port 563 with encryption.
    Search for "TLS" in the INSTALL page to see what to configure (notably
    how to start "nnrpd -S").


    It would be really helpful if some experienced admins would copypasta
    some sane configs here with the security-sensitive parts sanitized out,
    of course.

    The samples shipped with INN normally already contain all these useful information.
