I few weeks ago I posted a message requesting help getting the NNTP server running on a SPARC environment under Sun OS 4.X. I recently received the response that corrected the problem, applied the patches, and verified the correct operation of the server. I now am able to run the "nntp" server on my Sun 4 system running 4.0.1 in this particular case. The problems are specific to the sparc implementation and are not part of the patches in nntp1.5.5, nor the cnews patches if you are running it. I am currently running both B News and C News. The credit for this patch comes from Karl Kleinpaste, at the address below: karl@cis.ohio-state.edu Please contact Karl for the patches. I would like to give credit to the person responsible, and if you are not able to get it from Karl or do not have the Internet access, let me know and I will ship it to you. If you have the inaddr structure patches to "server/subnet.c" then you already have these, but I did not have them in the nntp1.5.5 or cnews nntp patches and sources. So, I would guess that some people may not have them. -Brad
