   I was wondering if anyone here has tried to get the INN 1.4unoff4
nnrpd working with the shared-active patches??  From what I can see 
this works fine on SysV platforms, and BSDi 2.1 seems to have the 
required shared memory calls if I include the -lipc library during the
compile process.  

I thought things were looking good as the code compiled and linked 
OK, but when I try and run it with the shared active patch installed
when you connect to port 119 it just complains that the NNTP server is
not available.  So needless to say something isn't quite right..

If anyone has this working, or has any clues please let me know.  We have
a lot of online readers at any given time (like most ISP's), and it
appears we could save a lot of RAM with this patch installed...
