Basically, it adds two optional parameters (user and password) to >the server line in nntpcache.servers For some reason the patch won't work. I am not too familiar with patch, but I have earlier managed to patch my wine source, and I had hoped that this would be just as easy :o) It seems that the patch only affects 4 files, ll.h, sockets.c, nntpcache.c and nnconf.c, total size 61 kB. Could you instead post these files? ...or perhaps the patch problem could be solved. Here is what I did: - placed the patch in /usr/src, - cd'ed to usr/src/nntpcache-2.3.3/src - patch -p1 -N --verbose <../../nntpcache.patch Here is the output: >mm...(Fascinating -- this is really a new-style context diff but without >the telltale extra asterisks on the *** line that usually indicate >the new style...) > Looks like a context diff to me... >The text leading up to this was: >-------------------------- >|# This is a patch for nntpcache-2.3.3.orig/src to update it to nntpcache-2.3.3/src. >|# It was generated by makepatch 1.93 (2.0BETA) on Tue Nov 16 21:23:29 1999. >|# >|# To apply this patch, chdir to source directory nntpcache-2.3.3.orig/src and enter >|# >|# patch -p1 -N < <this-file> >| >|exit >|# End of preamble. >| >|# Patch input follows. >|__DATA__ >|Index: ll.h >|Prereq: 1.2 >|####### nntpcache-2.3.3/src/ => src >|*** src/ll.h Mon Aug 3 06:35:01 1998 >|--- src/ll.h Thu Oct 14 19:28:30 1999 >-------------------------- >Good.

I have checked that ll.h.rej exists, and the lines from 96 through 101 looks like expected. Suggestions? -- Allan Olesen, Lunderskov Postet fra Agent - den bedste newsreader til Linux.
