<H3>Synopsis.</H3>
<P>
<code><strong>mbnntp</strong></code>You should not run this from the
commandline, instead it should be run by <b>inetd</b> or <b>xinetd</b>.
<P>&nbsp;<P>
<H3>Description.</H3>
<P>
<strong>mbnntp</strong> is a RFC977 and RFC2980 compatible news server. It uses
the bbs echomail and news areas. To use the server, the user must login in the
news server with his bbs unix name and password, thus the user must exist on the
bbs. The access to the areas is the same as if the user would be logged into the
bbs. Only echomail areas are available to the user as newsgroups.
<P>&nbsp;<P>
<H3>Installation.</H3>
<P>
If installed from <b>inetd</b> add the following line to
<code>/etc/inetd.conf</code>:
<pre>
nntp stream tcp nowait mbse /opt/mbse/bin/mbnntp mbnntp
</pre>
<P>&nbsp;<P>
<H3>Bugs.</H3>
<P>
Maybe a lot, this is a new program.
