Is there a way to get this information? I've taken a look at loguse=true and the duse utility, but that appears to provide stats on those reading articles as opposed to writing them. Am I something obvious?

Hi,
Sorry, I can't think of a simple command to get these statistics. Details of locally posted messages are available in dnews_post.log, and you can use grep to count the number of times each username appears in the file.

Thanks... is there a way to get usernames to appear in the log files (as opposed to IP addresses)?

Oops, wrong file. Try post.rec. This one contains the users from value, their login, and subjects, so summarising it may be more difficult. You ideally need to split up the individual tokens to ensure you are not matching the username with the subject incorrectly.

Bingo! I believe that will do for what we're looking for. Thanks!
