Re: Right, I'm at it again...new usenet server

Hi Nigel,

I'm going to rename my old server to "oldnewsfeed" and use the
following to feed all the articles from my existing server to the new
server...
 on the old server
   cd /news/etc

If your history file is in /news/etc, that will be fine.  (It is usually in something like /news/db or /var/lib/news).
OK with the rest.  Follow well the 6.4 subject entry in the FAQ (xrefslave, etc.).

I'll configure incoming.conf newsfeeds and innfeed.conf so that I'm not
feeding any other servers and that oldnewsfeed is the only server able
to send to that host.
 Then I'll add my peers back in. Is that it? Am I safe?

Seems good.

Am I going to send everything off to my peers?

No you aren't.
