Very Computer

Howdy,

I'm attempting to install and configure an nntp news server and cnews on a
Solaris 2.5 system and am having a bit of trouble with the conf.h file;
the cnews seems to have gone in OK but, in particular, I'm having trouble
deciding what many of the config parms need to be set to for the conf.h
file of nntp.

Any pointers or specific help in this area would be greatly appreciated.

Thanx...

There are a couple of very important ones, without which INN won't even
compile. Below are the diffs for my config file (INN1.4unoff4). I'll spare
the group the entire config file, but if you need it, I can e-mail it to
you.

Dude !
Install inn-1.5b2, that's MUCH better.
