Sorry, I was away this week-end and could not read my mails ;-) Thanks for the tarball you sent me, I will check it out tonight when I get back home. I worked a bit on the port and found that the install-sh script from inn exec-s chown several times while I should assume the _news user isn't yet created. I'm trying to fix this by deferring the chown's to post-install, I'll give it a try tonight. I'll post the url to the updated port here. It is the last "blocking" issue for me as besides that I had no issues running inn out of it with an existing _news account. It took me quite some time, but I could start it with no errors in logs, create new groups, post to groups, delete groups ... When it is "valid" for you, I will add a -sasl flavour as it is part of my needs ;-) I have a question: strcpy is used a lot and after going through the archives, I do not know if I should try to replace strcpy with strlcpy or if I should avoid differing from the official project. I looked at a few strcpy calls and they "seemed" to be safely used (I need to spent a lot more time to ensure that as they are widespread). I have no problem with either solution, replacing or auditing, it is just that I don't know which one is the preferred way. Something good had to emerge from inn: Now I know precisely of several things NOT TO DO in future code to keep it maintainable and portable (as in ports). -- sysadmin & coder @ http://www.evilkittens.org/ coder @ http://www.exalead.com/
