Setup: Sun Sparc 20 / Solaris 2.5, nntpcache 1.0.7.1 (with listgroups patch), INN 1.5.1 local server. Summary: ihaveServer directive doesn't work. With the above setup I am using: ihaveServer news.tibus.net:8119 where I have INN 1.5.1 running. hosts.nntp provides access from news.tibus.net sparc.tibus.net localhost In servers file I have: news.tibus.net:8119 sparc.tibus.net. 10m 12h 12h 10m 0 0 The following is from syslog with full debugging on: Nov 17 17:49:16 sparcy nntpcached[6655]: eebau.tibus.net connect from unknown@eebau.tibus.net (194.74.214.10) Nov 17 17:49:23 sparcy innd: sparc.tibus.net connected 21 streaming allowed Nov 17 17:49:23 sparcy nntpcached[6655]: sockets.c:76: connected to NNTP server news.tibus.net:8119 as sparc.tibus.net.

We can also tell from the logs that nntpcache is correctly connecting as 'sparc.tibus.net'. => nntpcache is not correctly passing on the ihave <....> command. Thoughts? Bug fix?
