DESCRIPTION

13       Nfadmin  simplifies  the  task  of displaying and setting director page
14       options of many notesfiles at once.
15
16       The flags specify the status to be changed.
17
18       -a+    Allow anonymous submissions.
19
20       -a-    Disallow anonymous submissions.
21
22       -n+    Allow network transmissions/receptions.
23
24       -n-    Disallow network transmissions/receptions.
25
26       -o+    Open the notesfile.  Allow local access by  non-directors  (sub‐
27              ject to access permissions).
28
29       -o-    Close the notesfile.  Disallow local access by non-directors.
30
31       -A+    Flag  this  notesfile  as  an archive notesfile.  (This does NOT
32              mean that the notesfile will be archived.  You can't archive  an
33              archive!)
34
35       -A-    Flag  this  notesfile as a non-archive notesfile.  This does not
36              affect what happens to notes when they expire.
37
38       -M+    Flag this notesfile as a moderated notesfile.  This causes  com‐
39              mands  that  create new notes or responses to create a mail mes‐
40              sage to the newsgroup moderator instead.  A list  of  notesfiles
41              and   the  mail  address  of  the  moderator  is  maintained  in
42              /usr/spool/notes/.utilities/moderators.
43
44       -M-    Flag this notesfile as a non-moderated notesfile.
45
46       -L+    Flag this notesfile as  a  local  notesfile.   Local  notesfiles
47              don't  ask  whether to include a .signature file at the end of a
48              new note or response.
49
50       -L-    Flag this notesfile as a  non-local  notesfile.   If  the  NFSIG
51              environment variable is set, notes will prompt whether or not to
52              include the signature file named by NFSIG at the end  of  a  new
53              note or response.
54
55       -e=NN  Set  the  expiration  time  of  this  notesfile to NN days.  (NN
56              should be replaced with a positive number).
57
58       -e=0   Set the expiration time of this notesfile to DEFAULT.  The  num‐
59              ber  specified  on  the  nfarchive  command line will be used to
60              determine expiration time.  If  no  time  is  specified  on  the
61              nfarchive command line, 14 days is used.
62
63       -e=-1  Set the expiration time of this notesfile to NEVER.
64
65       -W=0   Set  the  working set size of this notesfile to the command line
66              default.
67
68       -W=NN  Set the working set size of this notesfile to NN.
69
70       -l=NNNNN
71              Set the maximum note size of an individual note in  this  notes‐
72              file  to  NNNNN.   (Warning:  negative numbers and numbers under
73              1000 are a very bad idea  here.   The  usual  notes  default  of
74              100000 is too small for sources groups and mod.map.  Please con‐
75              sider raising the limit for these groups to something more  rea‐
76              sonable,  like 500000 or 2000000.  Also check your parms.h file;
77              notes has a "hard limit", and if you set the maximum  size  over
78              the  hard  limit,  the hard limit still applies, even though the
79              individual maximum is still displayed).
80
81       -E=default
82              Set the expiration action of this notesfile to the command  line
