I'm using sn version 0.3.3, I built it from source on the system where I have the shell account. I'm not absolutely sure what Linux distribution it is but it's using kernel 2.2.19. I'm not using snauth. I'm using couriertcpd to run snntpd as follows:- couriertcpd 50119 /home/d/cgreen/bin/snntpd This gets it to listen on port 50119 and, as I said, it all works fine apart from my newsreader thinking it needs authentication. One can telnet into port 50119 and it just echoes:- "200 Hi, you can post" -- Chris Green ([email protected]) Home: [email protected] Work: [email protected] WWW: http://www.isbd.co.uk/
