Debian Patches

Status for inn/1:1.7.2q-47

Patch Description Author Forwarded Bugs Origin Last update
clientactive.c When posting an article with inews, first the active file is gotten from
the server. Then inews tries to read the distrib.pats file from the server
using CA_listopen. If that _fails_ (no remote copy and no local copy) CAclose
is called by CA_listopen, and CApathname is removed and CAfp closed. Ofcourse
those static variables are references to the active file opened with CAopen()..

The following patch fixes this, but IMO CApathname and CAfp should not
be used at all.

Appended is the patch I applied to my Inn-1.7 server.

I hope that helps...

poison+remember_trash INN poison and REMEMBER_TRASH patch
I posted this here once before, but now it's been tested and I believe I
can recommend it as stable. This is a merger of Panix's poison patch and
Odd Einar's REMEMBER_TRASH patch. It adds the @pattern syntax for the
hosts.nntp file, so that you can reject U2 postings from unsound peers
with:

peer.name::*,@net.*

entries in hosts.nntp. Posts rejected due to @ or ! entries in hosts.nntp
do not get added to the history file even if REMEMBER_TRASH is set, so if
you later get the same article via a sound path, you'll accept it.

interprets the syntax:

peer.name::@net.*

as rejecting all articles. Be sure to include the initial * in there.

This is a patch against INN 1.7.2-insync-1.1d.		 Russ Allbery <rra@stanford.edu> no
recommend_ID postings for bookkeeping or other purposes, so they generate them
themselves. But the better place for devising Message-IDs is the
server to guarantee unambiguity. This is a simple NNTP protocol
Message-ID. It can be recognized by the <...@...> syntax.
To utilize this feature, we need better clients, of course.

xmode INN (1.4unoff4-1) - Miquel van Smoorenburg <miquels@cistron.nl>

addhist INN can destroy the history database when paused or throttled, because the
history database is closed when INN is in such a mode. It does try to open
the history database briefly, but that's too late.

This patch fixes that: it refuses to do an addhist when the server is throttled,
and it does it in the right way when the server is paused.
