1.  Configuration Files

     Below is a list of the data files used by B and  C  News,  and  the
reference  NNTP  implementation,  along with a short summary of how they
map into INN configuration files.  The syntax is always  different:  INN
files  are  almost  always  a  set of colon-separated fields where lines
beginning with a poundsign are ignored.

explist        This  is  replaced  by  the  similar   expire.ctl   file.
               Archiving is done by a separate program.

mailpaths      This is replaced by the moderators file.  The "default"
               entry  in mailpaths is replaced by either a full wildcard
               ("*")  entry  in  the  moderators   file,   or   by   a
               "moderatormailer" entry in the inn.conf file.

nntp.access    This is replaced by the hosts.nntp (for NNTP  peers)  and
               nnrp.access (for newsreading) files.

nntp.sys       This is a password file used if NNTP is compiled with the
               "AUTH" option.  It is replaced by the passwd.nntp file.
               Note  that  inews  and  rnews  will  also  try  to   read
               passwd.nntp.   Therefore,  you will probably want to have
               one-line versions of it for your on-campus clients.

organization   This is replaced by the  "organization"  entry  in  the
               inn.conf file.

rn/server      This is replaced by the "server" entry in the  inn.conf
               file.

whoami         This is replaced by  the  "pathhost"  and  "fromhost"
               entries in the inn.conf file.
