Any use of the +contents of this file is at the user's own risk. + +This distribution contains all the parts necessary to build a replacement +for the inews that inject locally created news articles into the news system +for processing and distribution. It is important to note that this software +is only to be installed on CLIENT systems. There is a different software +distribution that is install on SERVER systems. Hopefully, this will make +it much easier for news administrators and systems managers in getting NNTP +up and running without having to read and deciper the cryptic details of +how NNTP and netnews work. + +Once you have unpacked the distribution, you run the Configure program to +set up the Makefile and config.h files. Then you run a make to create +the inews program. To install it, type "make install" while running as +the super user. + +If you want to use this kit with older NNTP distibutions or older news +reader software that expects the distribution layout of NNTP version 1.5, +make a directory called common and copy all the softeware from this +distibution to that directory. If you already have NNTP 1.5 somewhere, you +can just copy all this software into the common directory that is there. +Change directories to where you just copied all the software and type +"make compat" and this will set up the needed evironment for backwards +compatibility. + +This software has been tested on the following platforms: + +Sun 4 running SunOS 4.1.1, 4.1.2, and 4.1.3 +Solbourne running OS/MP 4.1B. +Vax 3500 running Ultrix 3.1 +386 running Interactive System V release 3.2 (with TCP 1.2). +HP 9000/823 with HP-UX A.08.00 E. +Silicon Graphics IRIS 4D with IRIX 4.0.5F. +Stardent 3000 running OS 4.2. +BSDI/386 Gamma 0.9 release. + +Bugs, enhancements and other comments should be directed to "nntp@tmc.edu" +or the newsgroup "news.software.nntp" + +STAN BARBER + + |
