Date: 19 May 1996 18:51:02 GMT Organization: ABSnet Internet Services - sales@abs.net - (410)-361-8160 Lines: 25 Message-ID: <4nnqim$9sm@news.abs.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: u1.abs.net Summary: BSDi 2.1 INN unoff4 sharedactive patch help Keywords: BSDi 2.1 INN unoff4 sharedactive X-Newsreader: TIN [UNIX 1.3 950824BETA PLMC.960428] Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.bsdi.misc:3783 news.software.b:17820 news.software.nntp:22781 I was wondering if anyone here has tried to get the INN 1.4unoff4 nnrpd working with the shared-active patches?? From what I can see this works fine on SysV platforms, and BSDi 2.1 seems to have the required shared memory calls if I include the -lipc library during the compile process. I thought things were looking good as the code compiled and linked OK, but when I try and run it with the shared active patch installed when you connect to port 119 it just complains that the NNTP server is not available. So needless to say something isn't quite right.. If anyone has this working, or has any clues please let me know. We have a lot of online readers at any given time (like most ISP's), and it appears we could save a lot of RAM with this patch installed... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Internet : howardl@abs.net | Howard D.
