CONTROLCHAN(8)					   CONTROLCHAN(8)

NAME
       controlchan - channel-fed control message handler

SYNOPSIS
       controlchan

DESCRIPTION
       Controlchan  removes  the responsibility for handling con-
       trol 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 head-
       ers) 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 syslog-
       ging, 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:

	    cd /usr/include
	    h2ph * sys/*
