|
The NNTP server is called nntpd, and may be compiled in two ways,
|
|
depending on the expected load on the news system. There are no compiled
|
|
versions available, because of some site-specific defaults that are
|
|
hard-coded into the executable. All configuration is done through
|
|
macro definines in common/conf.h.
|
|
<P>
|
|
nntpd may be configured as either a standalone server that is
|
|
started at system boot time from rc.inet2, or a daemon managed by
|
|
inetd. In the latter case you have to have the following entry in
|
|
/etc/inetd.conf:
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
nntp stream tcp nowait news /usr/etc/in.nntpd nntpd
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
|
|
If you configure nntpd as standalone, make sure that any such
|
|
line in inetd.conf is commented out. In either case, you have to
|
|
make sure there's the following line in /etc/services:
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
nntp 119/tcp readnews untp # Network News Transfer Protocol
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
To temporarily store any incoming articles, etc, nntpd also needs
|
|
a .tmp directory in your news spool. You should create it using
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
# mkdir /var/spool/news/.tmp
|
|
# chown news.news /var/spool/news/.tmp
|
|
</PRE>
