I'm having a bear of a time getting the nntpcache server up and running. I have a Solaris 2.6 box we'll call news-feeder.bms.com with IP address of say 192.192.192.1 running INN 1.7.2d and getting a (mostly) full NNTP feed. I can connect on port 119 and talk to INN successfully (group & list commands). I have another Solaris 2.6 box called news-reader.bms.com with IP address of say 192.192.192.2 in which nntpcache 2.3.2.1 is installed. My nntpcache.servers file then looks like this: #----------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Example: leaf machine, slow link, one NNTP server, no local groups # /* timeouts */ # host:port Interface Active Act.tim Newsgrp Group Xover Arts news-feeder.bms.com. 192.192.192.1 4h 2d 2d 30m 60d 60d %BeginGroups # Group pattern Host * news-feeder.bms.com. #----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've also tried various combinations of using DEFAULT for the IP address and 0's for the parameters to make it a proxy-only server. With this configuration, I'm consistently getting the following error starting the daemon: Mar 26 10:49:54 news-reader nntpcached[6252]: nntpcache.c:721: servers file nntpcache.servers contains no servers! However, if I put the nntpcache.servers-dist file in it's place, the daemon starts up but yields the following (not wholly unexpected) error: Mar 26 10:40:13 news-reader nntpcache-update[6253]: sockets.c:71:Cannot assign requested address: couldn't bind to 198.142.2.24 I also get the same error message if I simply change the IP address it's complaining about to news-feeders, but the daemon still starts up. In these examples, when I say the daemon starts up, I mean I can connect to news-reader via port 119, issue commands like "group news.answers" but get errors like "411 No such group". Any assistance would be very much appreciated! Thank you very much in advance.
