I am running a Mandrake 8.1 box that houses my Apache, php, mySQL, and inn news server. The idea was the news server would simply mirror the forum rather than connect to an external news host. I ran into a problem where I would get the following errors running the script: NNTPERROR: 500 "POST" not implemented; try "help" followed by NNTPERROR: 500 "GROUP" not implemented; try "help". It would seem the resolution is to alter the script slightly so that it would tell the inn daemon that it wanted to connect in a reader mode rather than just a dumb connection. To correct this, I added a little code in two places on version 20010820 of the hack:
$c->mode_reader;
I put it just before line 103 and
$con->mode_reader;
I put that just before line 338.
Things are working much better now, although I think I still have a few bugs to iron out between my many servers... what a headache! I don't know if anyone else is running a setup like this, but I figured I would post it here to save someone some time. Thanks for the hack, fastforward...
