NAME
syncnews - synchronize IMAP news mailboxes with active file
SYNOPSIS
syncnews [ -C config-file ] active-file
DESCRIPTION
Syncnews compares the list of IMAP news mailboxes with the news active
file. News mailboxes which are not listed in the active file are
removed. Newsgroups listed in the active file but not in the IMAP
mailboxes file have IMAP mailboxes created.
A newsgroup must have a status of ``y'', ``m'', or ``n'' to be consid-
ered listed in the active file.
Syncnews reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file
unless specified otherwise by -C.
OPTIONS
-C config-file
Read configuration options from config-file.
FILES
/etc/imapd.conf
BUGS
If a newsgroup is listed in the active file, but does not have the news
spool directories created, syncnews will create those news spool direc-
tories in the process of creating the IMAP mailbox. The created direc-
tories are likely to then have ownership and permissions that do not
permit the news server to write article files.
