by I've been trying to connect to an NNTP server using slip, and
I'm having no luck. I can connect to a public server
(news.ucdavis.edu) but my server chokes on me for some reason.
I've used tin that comes with slackware 1.1.0, as well as
xvnews and trn 3.3. -- none have worked.
I can use access my service's news from two ms-dos winsock
compatible NNTP news readers with no problems. Judging from
the news server's log file I'm sending requests which aren't
recognized, but I don't know if the problem lies with my linux
box or the sun server. Anybody have any ideas?
This is the log....
Dec 4 14:13:26 nnrpd[11801]: dcv.pipeline.com connect
These are the problem requests (I guess)...

Also, can anybody point me to a faq or man for
smail/sendmail/inn. I need to set up mail service/news posting
as well.
thanks in advance,
