From: devet@adv.win.tue.nl (Arjan de Vet) Subject: Porting INN 1.3 to Linux: partial success Date: 7 Feb 1993 10:11:06 GMT
I've been trying to port INN 1.3 to Linux. Getting it to compile was rather
simple, configuration was somewhat more difficult.
But... it doesn't work yet :-(
My setup: 0.99.4 + ALPHA patch (=0.99.5), tcp/ip via loopback device, single
host (adv.win.tue.nl), no ethernet card, no SLIP.
PROBLEM: When I try to post something, inews can't post the article.
When I telnet to the nntp port of adv.win.tue.nl and adv.win.tue.nl is not
in the hosts.nntp file the nnrp daemon is started, prints the banner ("...
posting ok"), but the connection is closed immediately. No messages in the
syslog files except `connect from adv.win.tue.nl'...
When adv.win.tue.nl IS in the hosts.nntp file the connection is not closed
(seems to work OK) but I cannot post and "mode reader" just starts the nnrp
daemon which closes the connection immediately as above.
However, feeding the innd a posting with the `ihave' command works (this is
simulating a newsfeed by hand :-). UUCP batching also works.
So the problem seems to be nnrpd. Does anybody know what the problem can be?
TCP/IP bug?
Anybody else working on INN 1.3 for Linux? I can send you my config.data
file if you want to try it...
