Hello *,

I am trying to bring up nntp in server mode under AT&T Sys V R 3.2.2 on 
my AT&T 3B2/600G and have run into some difficuties.  Yes I know the
README.SYSV for version 1.5.8 says they are still working on it.

After working on common/conf.h, I added a #define SYSVR3 and a bunch of
#ifdef SYSVR3 to the source code to properly locate some needed header
files.  This simple fix allowed me to do "make server" and have it complete
with a lot of noise about extra tokens (all that stuff like #endif NDIR).

I added the new process to /etc/services and stopped and restarted the network
installing nntpd.  That's were my success ended.  When an nntp feed site
attempts to connect to my nntp server, the connection close immediately after
the server ready message.  I do have a proper entry in nntp_access for the
feed site.

If there has been any progress with nntp under Sys V.3, I would appreciate
hearing about it.

Please respond by e-mail.  Without a working nntp, I don't have a newsfeed :-(
