Short: NNTPd 1.5.12.1 - NNTP Daemon for AmiTCP 4.0+ or AS225 Stack
Author: Stan Barber <nntp@academ.com>
Uploader: overlord@megalith.miami.fl.us
Type: comm/tcp
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>
