Table D-183 Proxy Properties: NNTP—Miscellaneous tab
Field Description
Timeout (seconds) Determines how long an NNTP connection is permitted to remain inactive before it
is closed.
The default value is 3600 (60 minutes).
Close connections gracefully Controls how connections are closed. When checked, connections are closed
gracefully. When unchecked, NNTP performs a hard close.
Check this check box if accessed news servers log error messages when NNTP
connections close.
This option is unchecked by default.
Enable Tracing Controls whether protocol sequences are recorded.
This feature is normally used to analyze problems between the security gateway
and clients. Use with caution as enabling tracing can cause log files to grow rather
quickly.
This option is unchecked by default.
