[news.software.nntp] Cnews and nntp

phil@inetg1.Arco.Com (Phil Meyer) (01/12/91)

On Monday, we will upgrade our internet host to a SUN4 SparkStation 2.  (YAY!)

We are currently running Bnews.

We want to put up Cnews.  In my initial inspection of build, I didn't see any
mention of nntp.  We are using nntp to receive news.  Can this be done with
Cnews?

If so, please enlighten me.

Thanks!

You'll have to rebuild NNTP; modern versions of it have hooks for C News.

Hint: if you compiled C news using dbz, define DBZ and DMB in the NNTP
conf.h file, and add -I/your/c/news/source/include to CFLAGS in the main
makefile and /your/c/news/source/libcnews.a to the libraries.

Another hint: if you didn't compile C News using dbz, recompile C News.
