The currently release of NNTP (1.5.11) is known to have problems running as
a server on computers running versions of Unix that look more like System V
than BSD. NNTP 1.6 will be verified to run on all the systems I can get
my hands on. This includes the following:
SunOS 4.1.1
Solbourne SMP/OS 4.0D
Ultrix 3.1
Ultrix 4.0
ISC 2.2.1 with TCP 1.X (whatever the current release is in April)
HP/UX 7.0
System V release 2 with Excelan networking on NCR Tower
Evans & Sutherland RISC/os 1.3
Stardent OS 3.0 on Stardent 3000
That's it. If you want me to verify that it works elsewhere before the release,
I have to have access to a system with the configuration you need. I will be
happy to do that on systems around the internet.
As announced earlier this week, I will be releasing a group of UNOFFICAL
patches to NNTP 1.5.11 to add the compatibility needed to run under ISC 2.2.1
with TCP 1.X (whatever the current release is now). This may help make NNTP
run on other System V Release 3 systems. I don't know.
