Use -f - to read from stdin. -h hostname Read newsgroups on host hostname (default 127.0.0.1) -v Be verbose. Prints the number of the article it reads from each newsgroup. newsgroups names of newsgroups to read. May be omitted if a groupsfile is specified. ENVIRONMENT
Requires Net::NNTP module (available in libnet from CPAN or the libnet-perl package). On Debian systems, this program will by default be run daily on the list of newsgroups specified in /etc/news/leafnode/touch_groups if that file exists. LIMITATIONS
Only one news-server is catered for, the IP address of which is hard-wired into the script as $nntp_host. BUGS
dies if it encounters any problems. AUTHOR
