(6.26) I don't want all those reject messages from rnews in syslog


Rnews is logging those rejects via syslog. The level is determined
at compile time via what you tell it in config.data:

#  Informational notice, usually not worth caring about.
### =()<L_NOTICE               @<L_NOTICE>@>()=
L_NOTICE                LOG_WARNING

So in this case you need to tell you syslogd to log only messages
above level warning.

                           INFO ABOUT 1.5
=====================================================================

INN Version 1.5 has been released. For how to get it look at part1 of
this FAQ.

=====================================================================
                             BUGS IN 1.4
=====================================================================

UNOFFICIAL patches for INN 1.4 are available via anonymous FTP at
ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/inn/


The ones that are highly recommended are:

1.4-to-1.4sec     -- Fixes the major security hole in INN.
1.4sec-to-1.4sec2 -- Fixes the remaining known security hole in INN.
select-loop-bug.patch -- Under some circumstances innd can lose track
		of a file descriptor and end up sitting in a select()
		loop.  If your INN suddenly is using up tons of CPU
		time and not getting much done, install this UNOFFICIAL
		patch.  Some OSs are more susceptible to this bug.

THERE ARE MANY MORE at that site, many add some useful features.

There is a replacement for innwatch that is written in Perl.  Get it from
"ftp://ftp.univ-lyon1.fr/pub/unix/news/inn/contrib/".
This directory is mirrored on ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/inn/
