[news.software.nntp] Upgrading to SunOS4.1.1

dcox@ssd.kodak.com (Don Cox) (03/03/91)

Current setup: Sun4/280, SunOS4.0.3
Cnews w/nntp

I can no longer tolerate my system crashing every other day because of
a BAD TRAP.  The only solution I have heard of that is reliable is to
upgrade to SunOS4.1.1.  My question is, does anyone know if this transition
will be painless for Cnews?  Will I be able to just make the necessary 
changes in inetd.conf, etc and run the former executables?

I have everything for NetNews on one 900Mb disk, and I would like to
be able to just start everything back up once the system is upgraded.  I
realize that I will have to make subtle changes, such as making the proper
additions to the crontab, but I am more concerned with having to recompile
and start from day one again.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
