I have recently opted to explore what Debian (stable) has to offer. One of the programs it installed by default was WWWOFFLE 2.7a. I have been using WWWOFFLE 2.8c (on RedHat) for some months now - with moderate success.
Remarkably enough, Debian's WWWOFFLE had only readily-solved problems to encourage it to read the contents of the RedHat cache. However, persuading it to come to the party and fetch URLs that were supposd to be in its 'outgoing' and 'monitor' directories is another story. All I get is: The WWWOFFLE server encountered a fatal error: Cannot open the spooled web page to write. The program cannot continue to service this request. Not entirely surprising since only 'proxy' currently has 'write' permission and I am not 'proxy' (to the best of my knowledge). I feel certain that, buried in the Debian documentation, there is advice that will enable a 'user' to become 'proxy'. But the Debian learning curve is steep; so I would welcome a pointer of where to look. Felix Karpfen -- Felix Karpfen Public Key 72FDF9DF (DH/DSA)
