Hey all,

I copied my config over but I forgot to change the pathhost variable so
all the articles are using the wrong hostname when I use pullnews.

Is it going to be a problem if I change that value in inn.conf later or
do I need to fix it and start again?

Thanks,

It won't break anything, but the Path name won't change for articles already
written to disk. No biggie.

That's what I was thinking but I wanted to be sure it wouldn't cause
any problems getting articles off the server for usenet clients.

If I realized then I could have used that name to stop the articles
propagating. Oh well. :)

Thanks,
