Short: NNTP Daemon for AmiTCP 4.x or AS225 Stack Author: Stan Barber Uploader: overlord megalith miami fl us Type: comm/tcp Architecture: m68k-amigaos 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 . 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 and the Amiga version of NNTPd was ported by JÖrg Strohmayer . 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.
