CONTROLCHAN (8)
channel-fed control message handler
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
Controlchan
removes the responsibility for handling control messages
(except cancels) from
innd (8)
and instead processes them from a channel or file feed.
To reduce load,
controlchan
keeps a copy of
control.ctl (5)
in memory and checks permissions (including any required PGP headers) before any
scripts are called. Also, the default ("bad message") case is handled
internally. The "drop" case is handled with far less fuss.
Normally,
controlchan
is configured in
newsfeeds (5)
and invoked from
innd (8).
And you need to set <usecontrolchan in inn.conf> to ``true''.
Controlchan
reports all log message through
syslog (3),
if possible. To enable syslogging, you will need to have run ``h2ph'' on your
system include files at some point (this is required to
make Sys::Syslog work). If you have not done so, do this:
+0.5i
cd /usr/include
h2ph * sys/*
-0.5i
