inn 1:1.7.2q-44.1ubuntu2 / usr / share / doc / inn / README.Debian

Patches applied:

0_insync_actived
0_insync_dbz_3.3
0_insync_fastrm_symlink
0_insync_misc (history+timer+perl_mode+perl_messageid)
0_insync_largerhash
0_insync_overscream
0_insync_pathfeed
Ported from the insync patch kit, with some local changes: actived,
DBZ 3.2, fastrm symlink bug fix, precommit cache, Joe Greco's timers,
bigger hash table in expire, mmapped overview, Path feed from a
newsfeeds entry.
To enable actived put "useactived: yes" in inn.conf and "DOACTIVED=true"
in /etc/news/boot. It will *NOT* be used by nnrpd by default.

1_perl_filter_patch
1_perl_misc
All patches from cleanfeed (mode.patch, messageid.patch, dynamic-load.patch,
filter.patch), some parts in 0_insync_misc too.

Disallow addhist when the server is paused or throttled.
(Miquel van Smoorenburg)

Added port and bindaddress entries to inn.conf (Miquel van Smoorenburg

Use a local moderators file if inews cannot get one from the server.

inet_addr does return int, not long.

inews buffer overflow fix and something else I do not remember.
inews opens the active with CAopen instead of CAlistopen (Colin Watson).
inews authenticates with the remote server (Chip Salzenberg).

inewsport
Add the inewsport inn.conf option.

inncheck
Make it check for the right permissions for debian systems.

innd.c_init_TimeOut
Bugfix: tv_usec must be initialized.

Use a timeout when invoking ctlinnd from innwatch.

Disable innwatch by default, add actived support.

nnrpd_perl_edit_headers+bofh
From the BOFH patch by Andrew Gierth: in filter_post() the authenticated
user is available in the $user variable and the article body is put in
$body. If the string returned by filter_post() starts with DROP, the
article is silently dropped.
Backported from INN 2.x the code to modify headers in filter_nnrpd.pl.

nntpsend.ctl_in_etc
Move nntpsend.ctl to /etc/.

Bugfix: disallow rmgroups when the server is throttled or the history

innreport backported from INN 2.x.

sendbatch
send-uucp
Commented some hardcoded configuration values, but everybody should use
send-uucp.pl anyway.

sys_errlist[] is deprecated.
