-.IX Title "ACTIVE 5"
-.TH ACTIVE 5 "2008-04-06" "INN 2.4.5" "InterNetNews Documentation"
-.SH "NAME"
-active \- List of newsgroups carried by the server
-.SH "DESCRIPTION"
-.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
-The file \fIpathdb\fR/active lists the newsgroups carried by \s-1INN\s0. This file
-is generally maintained using \fIctlinnd\fR\|(8) to create and remove groups, or
-by letting \fIcontrolchan\fR\|(8) do so on the basis of received control messages.
-This file should not be edited directly without throttling \fBinnd\fR, and
-must be reloaded using \fBctlinnd\fR before \fBinnd\fR is unthrottled. Editing
-it directly even with those precautions may make it inconsistent with the
-overview database and won't update \fIactive.times\fR, so \fBctlinnd\fR should
-be used to make modifications whenever possible.
-.PP
-Each newsgroup should be listed only once. Each line specifies one group.
-The order of groups does not matter. Within each newsgroup, received
-articles for that group are assigned monotonically increasing numbers as
-unique names. If an article is posted to newsgroups not mentioned in this
-file, those newsgroups are ignored.
-.PP
-If none of the newsgroups listed in the Newsgroups header of an article
-are present in this file, the article is either rejected (if \fIwanttrash\fR
-is false in \fIinn.conf\fR), or is filed into the newsgroup \f(CW\*(C`junk\*(C'\fR and only
-propagated to sites that receive the \f(CW\*(C`junk\*(C'\fR newsgroup (if \fIwanttrash\fR is
-true).
-.PP
-Each line of this file consists of four fields separated by a space:
-.PP
-.Vb 1
-\& <name> <high> <low> <flag>
-.Ve
-.PP
-The first field is the name of the newsgroup. The newsgroup \f(CW\*(C`junk\*(C'\fR is
-special, as mentioned above. The newsgroup \f(CW\*(C`control\*(C'\fR and any newsgroups
-beginning with \f(CW\*(C`control.\*(C'\fR are also special; control messages are filed
-into a control.* newsgroup named after the type of control message if that
-group exists, and otherwise are filed into the newsgroup \f(CW\*(C`control\*(C'\fR
-(without regard to what newsgroups are listed in the Newsgroups header).
-If \fImergetogroups\fR is set to true in \fIinn.conf\fR, newsgroups that begin
-with \f(CW\*(C`to.\*(C'\fR are also treated specially; see \fIinnd\fR\|(8).
-.PP
-The second field is the highest article number that has been used in that
-newsgroup. The third field is the lowest article number in the group;
-this number is not guaranteed to be accurate, and should only be taken to
-be a hint. It is normally updated nightly as part of the expire process;
-see \fInews.daily\fR\|(8) and look for \f(CW\*(C`lowmark\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`renumber\*(C'\fR for more details.
-Note that because of article cancellations, there may be gaps in the
-numbering sequence. If the lowest article number is greater then the
-highest article number, then there are no articles in the newsgroup. In
-order to make it possible to update an entry in-place without rewriting
-the entire file, the second and third fields are padded out with leading
-zeros to make them a fixed width.
-.PP
-The fourth field contains one of the following flags:
-.PP
-.Vb 6
-\& y Local postings are allowed.
-\& m The group is moderated and all postings must be approved.
-\& n No local postings are allowed, only articles from peers.
-\& j Articles are filed in the junk group instead.
-\& x No local postings and ignored for articles from peers.
-\& =foo.bar Articles are filed in the group foo.bar instead.
-.Ve
-.PP
-If a newsgroup has the \f(CW\*(C`j\*(C'\fR flag, no articles will be filed in that
-newsgroup, and local postings to that group will be rejected. If an
-article for that newsgroup is received from a remote site, and it is not
-crossposted to some other valid group, it will be filed into the \f(CW\*(C`junk\*(C'\fR
-newsgroup instead. This is different than simply not listing the group,
-since the article will still be accepted and can be propagated to other
-sites, and the \f(CW\*(C`junk\*(C'\fR group can be made available to readers if wished.
-.PP
-If the <flag> field begins with an equal sign, the newsgroup is an alias.
-Articles cannot be posted to that newsgroup, but they can be received from
-other sites. Any articles received from peers for that newsgroup are
-treated as if they were actually posted to the group named after the equal
-sign. Note that the Newsgroups header of the articles are not modified.
-(Alias groups are typically used during a transition and are typically
-created manually with \fIctlinnd\fR\|(8).) An alias should not point to another
-alias.
