-
- This is a separate guide for installing INN addressed to
- UNIX and System Administration novices. It is written for
- installation of INN 1.4 on a Sun SPARCstation running
- SunOS 4.1.x with some additional comments
- for Solaris 2.x. This guide is maintained by
- Norman J. Pieniazek (norman@giardia.pdb.cdc.gov). Please
- send updates and corrections to him.
-
- This guide is composed of following parts:
-
- I. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
- II. INSTALLATION OF INN 1.4
- III. UPGRADING FROM INN 1.3 TO INN 1.4
- IV. MAINTENANCE OF INN
- V. INSTALLATION OF XVNEWS, A SUN OPENWINDOWS
- NEWSREADER
-
-
-
- I. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
-
- 1. INN will not install nor run on Sun SPARCstation under
- plain Solaris 1.1 or 2.x unless you install some
- additional software packages and utilities
- (fortunately, they are free). Also, your machine's IP
- number (of the news server) has to be entered in a
- Domain Name Service database (DNS) to be resolvable.
- Ask your Network Administrator about DNS or read the
- O'Reilly & Associates, Inc. book: "DNS and BIND" by Paul
- Albitz & Cricket Liu, ISBN 1-56592-010-4.
-
- Further, test the resolver on your machine by
- pinging a hostname not entered in your /etc/hosts file.
- For example, type:
- "ping ftp.uu.net"
- The response should be: "ftp.uu.net is alive".
-
- If you get: "unknown host ftp.uu.net", consult the
- O'Reilly's book.
-
- (Solaris 2.x - the most common problem with DNS
- results from not switching on DNS support. Check
- the line "hosts:" in the /etc/nsswitch.conf file.
- It should read: "hosts: files dns").
-
- 2. Be sure to su to root before performing tasks
- outlined below. Next, check if you have a directory
- /usr/local and about 90 Mb of space in the partition
- where this directory is located. Create directories:
- /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/man if
- you do not have them. Add /usr/local/bin to your path
- and /usr/local/man to your MANPATH. On Solaris 2.x,
- create /opt/local tree and make a symbolic link
- from /usr ("ln -s /opt/local /usr/local").
-
- 3. INN uses gnu versions of grep, awk and sed. Moreover,
- it is recommended to compile INN with the gnu
- versions of make and the gnu gcc compiler instead of
- the Sun's Solaris 1.x unbundled cc compiler. (C
- compiler is not included with Solaris 2.x. The cc in
- /usr/ucb is bad. Be sure to remove it from path.) If you
- don't have the gnu software package, create a directory
- /usr/local/gnu, cd to this directory and ftp to
- prep.ai.mit.edu (18.71.0.38). Go to directory /pub/gnu
- and get the newest version of the following programs:
-
- bison bison-x.x.tar.gz
- flex flex-x.x.x.tar.gz
- gawk gawk-x.x.x.tar.gz
- gcc gcc-x.x.x.tar.gz
- grep grep-x.x.tar.gz
- gzip gzip-x.x.x.tar (Note: no .gz)
- make make-x.x.tar.gz
- patch patch-x.x.tar.gz
- perl perl-x.x.tar.gz
- sed sed-x.x.tar.gz
- tar tar-x.x.x.tar.gz
- texinfo texinfo-x.x.tar.gz
-
- Installation of these programs is not complicated,
- and is really beneficial both for Solaris 1.x and
- Solaris 2.x users. After you complete the
- installation, check if older versions of these programs
- are not present somewhere in your path. Delete or
- rename these old versions.
-
- Solaris 2.x: First, after connecting through ftp
- to prep.ai.mit.edu, cd to directory:
- /pub/gnu/sparc-sun-solaris2
- and get the file INSTALL.gcc. Follow the instructions
- for installing binaries for gcc and gzip (installed
- in /opt/gnu). Next, follow the instructions for
- Solaris 1.1, but read the doc file for gcc-x.x.x.
- To avoid problems, rename /usr/ucb/cc to something
- else, or remove it from path. Make a symbolic link
- in the /opt/gnu/bin directory from gcc to cc.
- When you finish the installation, the new utilities
- will be installed in the /usr/local tree. Delete and
- remove from path the /opt/gnu tree. As the binaries
- you downloaded are pretty old, it is advisable to
- start with the new gcc and to compile all the
- gnu utilities with this new gcc. NOTE: it makes
- no difference, if you install gnu stuff in /opt/gnu
- or in /usr/local. The installation scripts for gnu
- utilities default to the /usr/local directory tree,
- so I find it simple to use this path. Whatever
- you do, be sure to have the gnu utilities in
- your path before /usr/bin and /usr/ccs/bin.
-
- Solaris 2.x: be sure to include /usr/ccs/bin
- and /usr/ccs/lib in your path. Important
- utilities (e.g. - ar, cpp) are located there.
- Please note, that the /usr/ccs stuff is only
- installed, when you do a full install of Solaris.
- If you do not have e.g. - /usr/ccs/bin/ar, re-install
- Solaris 2.x!
-
- a. Start with gzip. In /usr/local/gnu type:
- "tar xvf gzip-x.x.x.tar". A directory gzip-x.x.x will
- be created. Change to this directory and type:
- "sh ./configure". Next, edit the Makefile
- with the vi editor and change the line starting with
- "CC" to read: "CC = cc". Then, type: "make".
- Compilation should complete without errors. Finally,
- type: "make install" to complete installation of gzip,
- gunzip, and other utilities in /usr/local/bin.
-
- b. Compile and install texinfo - info, makeinfo, the GNU
- hypertext system. Makeinfo is needed for error-free
- installation of many GNU programs and utilities.
- In /usr/local/gnu type: "gunzip texinfo-x.x.tar.gz".
- Next, type: "tar xvf texinfo-x.x.tar". A directory
- texinfo-x.x will be created. Cd to this directory
- and type: "sh ./configure". Next, edit the Makefile
- as described above for gzip. Now, type: "make"
- and ignore any non-fatal errors. Finally, type:
- "make install". With newer versions of texinfo,
- you will get a lot of messages about "emacs",
- "*.elc", and "*.el" files. Just ignore these
- messages.
-
- c. Installation of the gnu version of tar is
- beneficial. You will be able to use
- "tar -Zxvf <file name>.tar.Z" or
- "tar -zxvf <file name>.tar.gz" to uncompress
- and untar files in one step. Uncompress, compile
- and install tar as above. Be sure that /usr/local/bin
- is the first directory in your path.
-
- d. Uncompress, compile and install gnu make. Follow the
- steps described for texinfo. Gnu make will install in
- /usr/local/bin. To disable Sun's make, cd to /usr/bin
- (/usr/ccs/bin for Solaris 2.x) and type:
-
- "mv make make.sun".
-
- e. Compile and install bison following the procedure
- described for texinfo.
-
- f. Uncompress gcc. Cd to /usr/local/gnu/gcc-x.x.x and
- type:
-
- sh ./configure
-
- Next type:
- make
- This step will take about 17 minutes to complete.
- Ignore warnings reported for insn-emit.c. Next, type:
- make stage1
- Ignore reported non-fatal errors. Next, type:
- make CC="stage1/xgcc -Bstage1/" CFLAGS="-g -O"
- This step will take about 19 minutes to complete.
- Next, type:
- make stage2
- Ignore reported non-fatal errors. Next, type:
- make CC="stage2/xgcc -Bstage2/" CFLAGS="-g -O"
- In this step, which lasts about 13 minutes, you will
- make the final stage 3 compiler. Now type: "make
- compare". No errors should be reported here. Finally,
- type:
- make install CC="stage2/xgcc -Bstage2/" CFLAGS="-g\
- -O"
- (NOTE: backslash "\" is used in this FAQ to break the
- line for formatting purposes. You can use the
- backslash for the same purpose in a command line.
- Please read Sun documentation, if you need more
- information.)
- to install the gcc compiler. It is advisable to
- recompile patch, gzip, texinfo, make and bison with
- gcc. It will be a good test for proper gcc
- functionality.
-
- g. Uncompress gawk. Cd to directory gawk-x.x.x and type:
- sh ./configure sunos41
- (for Solaris 2.x: sh ./configure solaris2.cc)
- Next type: "make". When gawk will compile, type:
- make install
- Finally, disable Sun's awk by typing:
- mv /usr/bin/awk /usr/bin/awk_sun
- and create a link to gawk for awk by typing:
- ln -s /usr/local/bin/gawk /usr/bin/awk
-
- h. Uncompress grep. Cd to directory grep-x.x and type:
- ./configure
- Next type: "make" and "make install". Grep will
- also be installed in /usr/local/bin as fgrep
- and egrep. Finally, as some programs expect to find
- grep, egrep and fgrep in /usr/bin, disable Sun's grep
- and create appropriate links, just like described
- for awk. INN expects to find a program "egnugrep" in
- /usr/local/bin. Create it by typing:
- cp /usr/local/bin/egrep /usr/local/bin/egnugrep
-
- i. Uncompress sed and patch. Compile and install these
- utilities following the instructions for grep.
-
-
- j. INN comes with some scripts written in the perl
- language. Uncompress perl, cd to directory perl-x.xxx
- and type:
- sh ./Configure
- and hit Return for default answers to all questions.
- Next, type: "make depend", then "make". Now type:
- make test
- to check, if perl works without errors. Finally,
- type:
- make install
- to complete installation of perl.
-
- Solaris 2.x: answer "none" for -I/usr/ucbinclude
- and add libraries: -lm -lnsl -lsocket
-
- II. INSTALLATION OF INN 1.4
-
-
- 1. As root, create directories: /usr/local/inn1.4 (this
- will be your $inn directory) and /usr/local/news.
- (Solaris 2.x, you have to create a user "news",
- good choice is UID=6, GID=13, home
- directory=/var/spool/news, shell /bin/csh, no password
- - account is locked, * in password field in /etc/shadow.
- Be sure, to create a new group in /etc/group "news"
- with GID=13.)
-
- 2. Cd to $inn. Get the newest version of inn from:
- ftp.uu.net (192.48.96.9). This file is in the
- directory: /networking/news/nntp/inn. As for all
- binary files, please remember to set the file type in
- ftp to binary.
-
- 3. From the same source and directory get the Frequently
- Asked Questions (FAQ) files:
- faq-inn-1.Z
- faq-inn-2.Z
- faq-inn-3.Z
- faq-inn-4.Z (this file)
- faq-nov.Z
- and any other files that may contain patches or
- information.
-
- 4. To uncompress the FAQ files type: "uncompress faq-*.Z.
- Print the FAQs and read them before proceeding further.
-
- 6. In $inn type (with gnu tar):
- "tar -Zxvf innx.x.tar.Z
- This will extract inn files for compilation.
-
- 7. Change directory to $inn/config, and type:
- cp config.dist config.data
- chmod 644 config.data
- Now use the vi editor to edit config.data. You should
- select gcc as the compiler by changing the line that
- starts with "CC" to read "CC gcc". Many lines in
- config.data define the location of various files
- and directories. It's OK to leave defaults, but
- check if you have ample space in the directory
- where the articles will be stored (/var/spool). More
- information on where INN expects to find certain files
- is in: $inn/samples/innshellvars. If necessary, edit
- the config.data and innshellvars to reflect your
- configuration. Please make sure that specified
- directories and utilities exist on your system.
-
-
- 8. Change directory to $inn. Type: "make world". Now
- type:
- cat */lint
- (Solaris 2.x - there is not lint included with
- Solaris 2.x. One way to get Solaris 2.x version
- of lint suggested to me, is to get a 30 day trial
- package of the SunPro C compiler from Sun. However,
- lint is not really needed, except for testing new
- code. You can make a symbolic link from /bin/echo
- to lint.)
- lint will give you a list of compiler warnings and
- errors. In addition, "make" creates in this step
- a file: "$inn/Install.ms". Print it by typing:
- nroff -ms Install.ms | lpr
- Install.ms is a manual for installation of INN written
- by Rich Salz, the author of INN. There is a lot of
- important and interesting information in his manual.
-
- 9. If you got no fatal errors from make, go to the
- $inn/site directory
- and type: "make all".
-
- 10. There are some scripts and control files listed in
- inn-faqs and Install.ms that may be modified at this
- point. For most installations, the default settings
- are OK.
-
- 11. Now cd to $inn and type: "make install" to complete
- basic installation of INN.
-
- 12. To finish installation of INN, run the BUILD script
- in the $inn directory by typing "sh BUILD". This
- script will ask a series of configuration questions
- that are easy to answer. Please note that if your have
- "history.*" files in your /usr/local/news directory
- from a previous or failed installation of INN, the
- BUILD script will not complete. Rename them to
- "old.history.*" and re-run the BUILD script.
-
- 13. You need a site that will feed news to you.
- This will depend on your geographic location and
- organization. Ask a System Administrator of a site
- close to you for hints.
-
- 14. Ftp to your newsfeeding site and get the "active" file
- from there. Place this file in your /usr/local/news
- directory and edit it to your taste. Remember to
- include the "control" and "junk" newsgroups. Also, you
- have to edit the following files in /usr/local/news:
- newsfeeds, hosts.nntp, nnrp.access, inn.conf.
- Be careful with editing the "active" file
- with vi or textedit. A common error is to leave a
- blank line at the top. This error causes INN to
- crash with the message: "ME bad_active". Depending
- on your setup, you will get this message in the syslog
- or on the console.
-
- 15. To check for syntax errors in INN control files,
- file ownership, permissions and other things type:
- /usr/local/bin/perl /usr/local/news/bin/inncheck
- and correct any errors reported by inncheck.
- If your paths are set, it is sufficient to
- change to the /usr/local/news/bin directory and type:
- "perl ./inncheck" or "./inncheck".
-
- 16. Look at the file "rc.news" in /usr/local/etc.
- It's advisable to enable the innwatch utility.
- Innwatch will throttle the newsserver when your disk
- will get full and prevent crashes. Change the line
- starting with "DOINNWATCH" to read "DOINNWATCH=true".
- (Solaris 2.x: edit the innwatch.ctl file and replace
- df with /usr/ucb/df. Default Solaris 2.x
- /usr/sbin/df doesn't understand the -i option.)
- Now type: "sh /usr/local/etc/rc.news"
- and look in /var/log/syslog for errors. Also, type:
- ps -aux| grep news
- and check, if the innd process owner is news.
-
- On Solaris 2.x, the syntax is a bit different:
- ps -fu news
-
- 17. In /etc/aliases create an entry: "usenet: <you, or
- root>". Next type: "/usr/ucb/newaliases" to inform the
- sendmail program that the aliases file has changed.
- If you are running YP (NIS) on your network, you may
- optionally add the "usenet" alias to your YP aliases
- file. If the machine you are installing INN on is the
- YP master and the file "/etc/aliases" is the source of
- the YP aliases map, you should type: "cd /var/yp"
- followed by "make". Reboot and restart innd (see #16).
-
-
- 18. To get daily reports on the newsserver activity from
- the "news.daily" script and to enable the "expire"
- utility type: "/bin/crontab -e news" and insert the
- following line:
- 40 23 * * * /usr/local/news/bin/news.daily delayrm
- or, if you are using overchan (in newsfeeds):
- 40 23 * * * /usr/local/news/bin/news.daily delayrm\
- expireover
-
- 19. To set-up complete logging of the server activities
- and have them ready for a report by the "news.daily"
- script, you have to edit your /etc/syslog.conf file.
- Insert at the end of this file the content of
- the syslog.conf file written by Rich Salz. This file
- is in: $inn/syslog. Please check, if you have the
- directories and files mentioned in Rich's syslog.conf.
-
- 20. Run tests from your machine to the server (to your
- machine at telnet port 119). See inn-faqs for details.
-
- 21. After completing these test, be sure to delete the
- entry for your machine from the hosts.nntp file. If
- you will not do it, your machine will be treated as a
- "feeder" and not as a "reader".
-
- 22. Set posting.
-
- a. Edit the /usr/local/news/newsfeeds file and add:
- <alias for your feed>/<full address of feed>\
- :*\ (for all local postings)
- :Tf,Wnm: (standard entry)
-
- b. Edit /usr/local/news/nntpsend.ctl file and add:
- <alias for your feed>:<full address of feed>::\
- -T1800 -t300
-
- c. Type: "/bin/crontab -e news" and insert a line:
- 0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * *\
- /usr/local/news/bin/nntpsend
-
- d. Run inncheck (see #15).
-
- e. Post to misc.test and include "reply" in the
- Subject line, automatic responses will be mailed to
- usenet (see #17) within a few minutes.
-
- 23. To start innd automatically at bootup, include at the
- end of your rc.local the following lines:
-
- #
- # Start INN news service - Internet News Daemon (innd)
- #
- if [ -f /usr/local/etc/rc.news ]; then
- /usr/local/etc/rc.news; echo "Starting INN news
- service"
- fi
-
- (In Solaris 2.x there is no rc.local. If you want
- to start INN automatically, you should create a
- script in /etc/rc2.d).
-
- NOTE: Please send me your solutions for boot time
- starting and shutdown closing of INN on Solaris!
-
- 24. Watch the news.daily reports in your mail for any
- additional errors. To run the news.daily script
- at any time manually, first su from root to "news"
- and type: "/usr/local/news/news.daily". A mail to
- "usenet" should arrive within a couple of minutes
- and may report important configuration problems.
-
-
- III. UPGRADING FROM INN 1.3 TO INN 1.4
-
- 1. Stop the server. Type:
- ctlinnd shutdown "upgrade"
-
- 2. Create a directory /usr/local/inn1.4, this will be
- your $inn directory. cd to $inn. Next, ftp to
- ftp.uu.net, cd to directory: /networking/news/nntp/inn
- and get the following files:
-
- inn1.4sec.tar.Z
- faq-inn-1.Z
- faq-inn-2.Z
- faq-inn-3.Z
- faq-inn-4.Z (this file)
- faq-nov.Z
- Uncompress and print the FAQs. Next, type
- (with gnu tar):
- tar -Zxvf inn1.4sec.tar.Z
-
- Print the README file. To print the Install file,
- type: "make Install.ms" followed by:
- nroff -ms Install.ms | lpr
-
- 3. Now, cd to $inn/config and type the following commands:
- make subst
- cp config.dist config.data
- ./subst -f {OLDFILE} config.data
- where {OLDFILE} is the location of config.data in your
- INN 1.3 directory. Be sure to check, if in your old
- config.data the "CC" line reads "CC gcc".
- Ignore warnings about new lines. Next, type:
- make sedtest
- No errors should be reported here. Now, cd to $inn
- and type this series of commands:
- make quiet
- cd ../lib
- make libinn.a lint
- cd ../frontends
- make all
- cd ../innd
- make all
- cd ../nnrpd
- make all
- cd ../backends
- make all
- cd ../expire
- make all
- cd ../site
- make all
- cd ..
- make update
-
- 4. Restart innd.
-
-
- IV. MAINTENANCE OF INN
-
- 1. Adding new groups - see also Part IV, Section 3.b,:
-
- a. Type: "ctlinnd pause 'edit active'"
-
- b. Edit the active file. The format is:
- groupname himark lomark flag.
- Set himark to 0000000000 and lomark to 0000000001.
- For detailed description of flags, read the man
- page for active. Editing the active file by hand
- is easy, but will not update the information in
- that file active.times that some newsreaders
- require to trace new newsgroups. Using ctlinnd
- command "newgroup" takes care of this problem
- (see below). Editing the active file with an
- editor has one drawback - the file active.times
- is not automatically updated. This creates problems
- for some newsreader (Trumpet being one of them)
- that use this file to alert users to new groups.
- Using ctlinnd command "newgroup" (see Part IV.3.b)
- corrects this problem.
-
- c. Run inncheck (see #11) to check the new active file
- for errors.
-
- d. Type: "ctlinnd reload active 'new active'".
-
- e. Type: "ctlinnd go 'edit active'".
-
-
- 2. New groups are sometimes added automatically through
- a control message. A mail message to usenet will alert
- to such an automatic change to the active file. If you
- do not want to subscribe to a particular news group,
- change directory to /usr/local/news and type:
- ctlinnd rmgroup <group name>
-
- 3. Sometimes, a mail message will arrive for usenet with
- a checkgroups file. Remove header, save the body of
- the message in:
- /usr/local/news/bin/control/news_control/news_control_
- todaysdate
- cd to that directory and type:
- ../docheckgroups <news_control_todaysdate
- >todaysdate_pre
- Read the output file (todaysdate_pre) and carry out all
- the instructions that you think pertain to your
- situation. Read the man pages for "active" and
- "ctlinnd" for more info. To implement the changes, you
- will have to change to the directory: /usr/local/news
- and:
-
- a. remove a discontinued group:
- type: "ctlinnd rmgroup <group name>"
-
- b. add a group:
- type: "ctlinnd newgroup <group name> flag <creator
- name>"
-
- c. mark a group correctly:
- type: "ctlinnd changegroup <group name> flag"
-
- Run inncheck and repeat the docheckgroups command from
- the /usr/local/bin/control/news_control directory
- by typing:
- ../docheckgroups <news_control_todaysdate
- >todaysdate_after
- Correct any reported problems. Also, you may have to
- edit the /usr/local/news/newsgroups file to reflect
- any changes you introduced.
-
- 4. Read the reports mailed to usenet (you) by the
- news.daily script. Most errors are reported here and
- should be easy to fix.
-
- 5. Subscribe to and read the following newsgroups:
- news.software.nntp
- news.software.readers
-
-
- 6. IMPORTANT!!! Never run fsck on the drive where the
- /spool/news files are located while running INN. Innd
- has a lot of active disk I/O going on and you could
- corrupt your drive. Use ctlinnd to throttle, pause, or
- shutdown innd first - see the manual page for ctlinnd.
-
-
- V. INSTALLATION OF XVNEWS, A SUN OPENWINDOWS
- NEWSREADER
-
- 1. Create a directory /usr/local/xvnews and cd to this
- directory.
-
- 2. Ftp to ftp.twi.tudelft.nl and get the file
- xvnews.tar.gz from directory /pub/news.
-
- 3. Ungzip and untar xvnews. With gnu tar type:
- tar -zxvf xvnews.tar.gz
-
- 4. Use your vi editor and edit the file xvnews.h
- You will need to enter your settings for:
- DOMAIN (on my machine: "pdb.cdc.gov")
- ORGANIZATION (on my machine: "Centers for Disease
- Control Atlanta, GA, USA")
- NNTPSERVER (on my machine:
- "giardia.pdb.cdc.gov")
- Preferred method is to override these defaults
- by specifying environment variables DOMAIN, ORGANIZATION,
- and NNTPSERVER in your .cshrc or .profile files
- (see the xvnews man page). In this way, you will be able
- to change default settings quickly.
-
- 5. Compile xvnews by typing:
- "make -f Makefile.dist"
- This command will show you, how to enter defaults
- for your operating system (e.g. - "sunos5" for Solaris 2.x,
- "sunos4" for SunOS 4.1.x). I get some compilations
- warnings on my system, but the program runs OK. Copy xvnews
- to /usr/local/bin and xvnews.man to directory:
- /usr/local/man/man1 as xvnews.1.
