- Hi Everyone:
-
- Is there anyone out there who is using their 386bsd box as an NNTP
- server? I have been trying to do this for awhile now but am not having a
- lot of success. I can get the server stuff for the nntp.1.5.11 distrib
- to build but it doesn't work correctly. The first problem that it seems
- to be having is with it's checking of available disk space before allowing
- a client to use the server. I get errors on the console from nntpd saying
- that it is failing to open /dev/wd0a. If I try to cat wd0a, I get a device
- busy error. However, I can cat /dev/rwd0a ok. Do I need to hack the server
- to read /dev/rwd0a? I think I can but I don't know if /dev/rwd0a will give
- the nntpd space checking code information in the correct format.
- If there is anyone who has already gone through this and triumphed,
- I'd be indebted to you for any tips or diffs :-) Thanks for any help that
- anyone can provide!
