Sent this a few days ago...haven't seen it on the lists trying again,
Linuxers and Alan,
There has recently been some <?> discussion on the net and admin
lists regarding a cry for help with INN and Linux 2.0 with RedHat3.0.3
Alan commented that this is a simple task with only "trivial" changes to
config.data for Linux 2.0 However nobody has stated what correct settings
are?? For what it's worth ... here is a comparison of the changes
between a config.data used with a 1.3.32 kernel vs the InnFAQ along with
notes from a RedHat contributed unoff4 .rpm along with a debian
config.data of which the debian is most interesting.
ALSO: there is a Linux patch with the sources where #include <sys/time.h>
in added to clibrary.h in the include directory of INN. This made the
difference between nnrpd <in.nnrpd> running or not! <DO THE INCLUDE!>

These are the highlights of the differences in config.datas
To see all the suggested changes to the distribution's config.data
please retreive the current INNFAQ #9 which claims to list the changes
for Linux kernels 1.3.57+ there are many other settings but the above
are the ones that seem to have some disagreement <?>
