- + Subject: How do I create all those directories in the newsspool?
- +
- + Q: For example, if you receive comp.sys.amiga.applications, do you
- + have to mkdir /var/spool/news/comp/sys/amiga/applications?
- +
- + A: Nope. innd creates the directory for you the first time you
- + receive an article for that newsgroup.

- ! Subject: System V based Unixes (SVR4, Solaris 2.x, SCO ODT 3.0, A/UX, ...)
-
- + If you are running any non-BSD (i.e. System V based) Unix you MUST have
- + the following option set:
- +
- ## How should close-on-exec be done? Pick IOCTL or FCNTL.
- #### =()<CLX_STYLE @<CLX_STYLE>@>()=
- CLX_STYLE FCNTL
-
- + This includes SVR4, Solaris 2.x, A/UX and SCO ODT 3.0. This is clearly
- + stated in the Install.ms file and repeated here since so many people
- + post to news.software.nntp after messing it up.
- +
- If it isn't FCNTL, you'll get tons of overchan processes hanging
- around. (source: Philip Gladstone <philip@charon.cto.citicorp.com>)
- +
- + In SCO ODT 3.0 and MOST systems, innd will link and run if you use
- + IOCTL but eventually will stop answering incoming calls.
- +
- + Don't be fooled. Just because it compiles doesn't mean it's going to
- + work.
