It uses the bbs echomail and news areas. To use the server, the user must login in the news server with his bbs unix name and password, thus the user must exist on the bbs. The access to the areas is the same as if the user would be logged into the bbs. Only echomail areas are available to the user as newsgroups. <P> <P> <H3>Installation.</H3> <P> If installed from <b>inetd</b> add the following line to <code>/etc/inetd.conf</code>: <pre> nntp stream tcp nowait mbse /opt/mbse/bin/mbnntp mbnntp </pre> <P> <P> <H3>Bugs.</H3> <P> Maybe a lot, this is a new program. <P> <A HREF="index.htm"><IMG SRC="../images/larrow.png" ALT="Index" Border="0">Back to index</A> <A HREF="../index.htm"><IMG SRC="../images/b_arrow.png" ALT="Main" Border="0">Back to Main index</A> </BLOCKQUOTE> </BODY> </HTML>
