CONTROLCHAN(8)							CONTROLCHAN(8)

NAME
       controlchan - channel-fed control message handler

SYNOPSIS
       controlchan

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
       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 invoked by innd(8) as configured in newsfeeds.
       An example entry is below.  Make sure that you've created the newsgroup
       control.cancel  so  that	 controlchan doesn't have to scan through can‐
       cels, which it won't process anyway.

	    controlchan!\
	       :!*,control,control.*,!control.cancel\
	       :AC,Tc,Wnsm\
	       :<pathbin in inn.conf>/controlchan

       Note that in the (very, very unlikely) event that you need  to  process
       ihave/sendme  control  messages, be sure that logipaddr is set to false
       in inn.conf, because in this case controlchan needs a site name, not an
       IP address.

       Controlchan  tries to report all log messages through syslog(3), unless
       connected to an interactive terminal.  To enable syslog(3)'ing for ver‐
       sions  of  Perl	prior  to 5.6.0, 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/*

       If you run FreeBSD, you will need to run the following in addition:

	    h2ph machine/*
