Runs fine, if you've got NNTP 1.5. Versions previous to 1.5 made poor assumptions about what gets returned by gethostby*() routines, as I recall. When you telnet to the NNTP port, you should get a greeting from the server such as: 200 tut.cis.ohio-state.edu NNTP server version 1.5 (26 Feb 88)... If you get that, you're running fine. If not...well, try netstat -a -n | fgrep .119 and see what happens. You should get back... tcp 0 0 *.119 *.* LISTEN ...if inetd is doing its job right. Since manual starting gives "addr in use" diagnostics, I strongly suspect that inetd is fine. -- I think that everyone's brains get scrambled one way or another. --Killashandra Ree
