-
- NAME
-
- NNTPd - NNTP Daemon for AmiTCP. Version 1.0.
-
-
- SYNOPSIS
-
- NNTPd
-
-
- DESCRIPTION
-
- NNTPd is a program that is used by AmiTCP, and is called whenever a
- connection to port 119 is made. It is compliant with RFC 977 (included)
- and thus should work well with NNTPxfer and other NNTP news transport
- programs.
-
- At this time, NNTPd only can send out news. It cannot receive posted
- news articles yet, but I am working on it. This program might be
- valuable to you if, for instance, you receive news VIA NNTPxfer or
- NNTPget, and then a bunch of other people get it from you. Now they
- can use NNTPxfer to get news from your system.
-
-
-
- INSTALLATION
-
- Installation of NNTPd is very simple.
-
- 1) Copy NNTPd to AmiTCP:serv
- 2) Edit your AmiTCP:db/inetd.conf and add the following line:
-
- nntp stream tcp nowait root AmiTCP:serv/nntpd
-
- 3) Add the following to your user-startup
- SetEnv UUNEWS <Where the news is>
- SetEnv ACTIVE <the full path and name of your active file>
-
- for example, mine says:
- SetEnv UUNEWS UUNEWS:
- SetEnv ACTIVE UULIB:news/active
- That's it!
-
-
- DIAGNOSTICS
-
- To test NNTPd for yourself, try: telnet <localhost> 119. If it closes
- immediately, check the AmiTCP log for the reason. Usually it is a problem
- with configuration. If you already have an active news directory, try
- and look at some of the articles.
