I run an nntp server (inn), on a RHEL ES4 machine, behind a firewall (that I don't control). I have configured the server to accept secure (SSL) connections on port 563. Access to this server on this port behind the firewall works fine. I asked the firewall admin to open port 563 for nntps traffic. He opened port 563 for tcp traffic only. From outside the firewall, I cannot get access to the news server.
Does anyone know if it is necessary to allow udp traffic as well for inn to work over SSL?
Thanks! Bill Tangren
In case, anyone is interested, the answer is no. nntp and nntps only use TCP. The problem I was (and am) having is a badly configured rule through the firewall.
