The platform is a Sequent Symmetry with 3.0.17.7. Software base is Cnews
of latest vintage (I believe).
Edit inetd.conf to disable nntpd and restart inetd (we have no other feeds).
Re-build Cnews to use dbz. Save libcnews.a and copy it to /usr/local/lib.
Copy dbz.h to /usr/include.
Re-build history file with dbz. In our case, cd /usr/spool/news/.admin;
/usr/local/lib/newsbin/expire/mkdbm history.
Edit nntp/common/conf.h
Define >BOTH< DBZ and DBM. Undef SETPROCTITLE. The setproctitle() routine
causes core dumps on this platform. It will be investigated later.
Depending on what you define among LOAD, ALONE, and SYSLOG, server/main.c
and server/serve.c may require editting to move the openlog() calls.
Edit server/Makefile to include -lcnews on the LIBS= line.
Build and install nntpd. Re-edit inetd.conf and restart inetd. Watch the
syslog files for errors.
