- NAME
-
- NNTPd 1.5.12.1 - NNTP Daemon for AmiTCP 4.0+ or AS225
- compatible TCP-Stack
-
-
- SYNOPSIS
-
- NNTPd 1.5.12.1 based on the Unix Sources. This version much more
- solid than that of Rafael Luebbert's version also found on Aminet.
-
- DESCRIPTION
-
- NNTPd is the NNTP news daemon for use with AmiTCP 4.0+ or AS225
- compatibe Stack. It is called whenever a connection to port 119 is
- made. It is fully compliant with RFC 977 (included), and supports the
- non-RFC 977 extensions: mode reader, listgroups, xgtitle, xhdr,
- xover, xpat and xpath. User authentication (AUTH) is also supported
- although not well documented in the sources and you may need MUfs in
- order to take advantage of it. Only 020 and 040 binaries have been
- included in the archive and compiled pure so you can load them
- resident.
-
- INSTALLATION
-
- IMPORTANT: ixemul.library and ixnet.library need to be installed
- before you can proceed to use NNTPd. You can find these libraries on
- Aminet or at: ftp://ftp.ninemoons.com/pub/ade/current/amiga-bin/
- Version 47.0 was used for compile (ixemul-47.0-bin.lha)
-
- It is also recomended that you install Cnews on your system before
- using NNTPd, Either Crash Edwards or Kai 'wusel' Siering versions
- which can also be found on Aminet. I personally beleive wCnews by
- wusel to be far better and I have used it for years without any
- problems. You might be able to hack it for use with AmigaUUCP. The
- disadvantage would be that whoever peers with you would pass along
- duplicates.
-
- SOURCES
-
- Full sources have been included with Amiga conf.h and makefiles. The
- DBZ libraries sources found in Crash Edward's port of Cnews has also
- been included in the archive. Sources compiled with GCC and the
- ixemul libraries. GCC can be found on the GeekGadgets CD-Rom or at
- <ftp://ftp.ninemoons.com/pub/ade/current/amiga-bin/>.
-
- BUGS
-
- I have been using this for weeks now with no bugs to report myself. I
- have both remote users and machines I peer with using the machine on a
- very consitant bases with no crashes associated with NNTPd.
- Currently, I have set NNTPd.040 on my system and loaded it resident on
- an A4000T 040/40MHz Kickstart 40.70, Workbench 40.42 AmigaDOS 3.1
- using using AmiTCP 4.3. The binary may work with Inet225P using their
- socket library found on the Interworks Web Page. This Binary may also
- work on Miami but has not been Tested.

- CREDITS
-
- The sources for NNTPd are maintained by Stan Barber <nntp@academ.com>
- and the Amiga version of NNTPd was ported by JÖrg Strohmayer <j_s@gmx.de>.
- Many thanks to JÖrg for putting up with me. :-) Only minor changes
- incorporated into the conf.h files and Makefile in order to get it to
- work on the Amiga.
-
- If you have any questions regarding the use of this version of NNTPd
- with AmigaCnews or wCnews along with AmiTCP feel free to drop me a
- note and I will try my best to answer your questions. You can reach
- me as Carlos Amézaga <overlord@megalith.miami.fl.us>
