| News Servers | ||||||
inn | inn | 2.4.0 | Maintainers |
| The InterNetNews package (INN) is a complete Usenet system. It includes innd, an NNTP server, and nnrpd, a newsreading server. INN separates hosts that feed you news from those that have users reading news. IPv6 support has been added in the 2.4.0 release. |  |
sn | sn | 0.3.6 | Felix Von Leitner |
| sn is a small news system for small sites serving perhaps a few dozen newsgroups, and with a slow connection to the internet. It is similar to Leafnode. The target user is a home or SOHO with a single modem connection to the Internet, maybe running IP masq or similar, and serving a few workstations. IPv6 support can be obtained by using Felix Von Leitner's patch for ucspi. |  |
leafnode | leafnode | 1.9.38 | Maintainers |
| Leafnode is a USENET software package designed for small sites running any flavour of Unix, with a few tens of readers and only a slow link to the net. Unfortunately, the program fetchnews included in the package is not IPv6 compliant. So the newsfeed cannot be handled over IPv6. It seems that leafnode 2 (currently in alpha) will have an IPv6 compliant fetchnews. | |
leafnode+ | leafnode+ | 2.15 | Maintainers |
| Leafnode+ is a USENET software package designed for small sites, with a few tens of readers and only a slow link to the net. Leafnode+ contains three programs, a nntpd clone which allow us to read locally cached news articles, a fetch program which get news articles from remotely servers by using NNTP like user self, and a expire program which expire locally cached news articles. Native IPv6 support has been added in version 2.12. | |
