Subject: (9.1) Comments for this part of the FAQ

  This part of the Faq is to provide some example configurations which

	- Name and Email  
	- a diff of config.data against config.dist leaving out changes to
	  local paths (except where they are relevant for work i.e. path to
	  egrep)  Please send me diffs as you find them below, not
	  entire config.data files. Please strip the diff to only include
	  the changed lines (see the entries below to see what I mean).

 	- the software environment it runs on (OS name and version, vendor 
	  patches to OS applied 
	- compiler (version?) and compiling environment.

	- other changes you made

Please see the entries below first to get the impression before you submit an entry. Send new entries to me (hwr@pilhuhn.de) and questions about specific configurations to the submitter of the entry. See also 1.20 and 1.8

Subject: (9.8) BSD/OS 2.1 + sharedactive

##FROM: Erik R. Leo &lt;<A HREF="mailto:erikl@sover.net">erikl@sover.net</A>&gt;
##DIFF:

##OS: BSD/OS 2.1; P90 hardware; patches K210-001 thru K210-007,
K210-revoke, U210-001 thru U210-005, U210-007 thru U210-015 ;
K210-revoke seems to have been "released" as K210-008 (and K210-009, I
think)

##COMPILER: gcc version 2.7.2

##MISC: 256MB RAM (!); using kernel options: maxusers 256,
DFLDSIZ="\(64*1024*1024\)", MAXDSIZ="\(128*1024*1024\)",
CHILD_MAX="256", KMEMSIZE="\(16*1024*1024\)",
DFLSSIZ="\(4*1024*1024\)" and NMBCLUSTERS="1024"; 
newest sharedactive patch applied (and modified with MAX_ACTIVE_SIZE 1000000, 
MAX_GROUPS 30000 and RELOAD_DELAY 60); 
using "su -m news -c /var/news/etc/rc.news >/dev/console" to start.

Subject: (9.9) HP-UX 10.01

##FROM: Paul Wouters &lt;<A HREF="mailto:paul@ns.via.nl">paul@ns.via.nl</A>&gt;
##DIFF:

##OS: HP-UX hp9000 B.10.01 A 9000/801
##COMPILER: gcc 2.6.3
GNU bison 1.22

##MISC: 
Some minor notes on getting it to compile. My syslog.h is not in <sys/syslog.h>
but <syslog.h>, and it doesn't contain LOG_NEWS. A new syslog is probably
much wanted on the standard hpux-10.01. I used the one from a recent berkeley
syslog.h :
#define LOG_NEWS        (7<<3)  /* network news subsystem */
Also, HPUX doesn't come with yacc. I tried byacc 3.0 but it didn't work, so
I used bison -y. Finally, HPUX doens't have egrep, i used the GNU version.

-----

The full blown C/ANSII-C compiler is a separate product. I think yacc comes with this product.

Corrections:

    egrep ships with HP-UX (as part of the "core-OS"). It is /usr/bin/egrep on 
	a system running 9.05 (and on my workstation with is running HP-UX 10.01).

Oddities:

   but the actual syslogd doesn't recognice the "news" facility. Using
   "56.whatever" instead of "news.whatever" however appears to work fine.

Subject: (9.14) Reliant Unix 5.43 C0024 on a MIPS RM300-C62 (Siemens Nixdorf)

##FROM: Michael Szczuka &lt;<A HREF="mailto:michael.szczuka@mch.sni.de">michael.szczuka@mch.sni.de</A>&gt;
##DIFF:

##OS: Reliant Unix 5.43 C0024 on a MIPS RM300-C62 (Siemens Nixdorf)
##COMPILER: gcc 2.7.2
##MISC:
   - the environment is by no means vanilla Reliant Unix 5.43. I've installed
     a good deal of GNU software. This has primarily effect on the paths
     but doesn't really affect compilation of INN (at least I don't think
     so). The only important change in the paths is for sed; /sbin/sed 
     (the one that comes with Reliant Unix 5.43) didn't pass the sedtest,
     so I took the GNU version (sed-v2.05).
   - gettimeofday() uses only _one_ argument, so you have to change the 
     call in lib/gettime.c (line 33) from
	 if (gettimeofday(&tv, (struct timezone *)NULL) == -1)
     to
	 if (gettimeofday(&tv) == -1)

##FURTHER NOTES:<BR>
   - subst.c won't compile with gcc unless you explicitely tell him to use
     gcc - and you have no license for the cc that comes with the system ...
     This is no problem if you use the shell version.

Subject: (9.15) UnixWare 2.1.x

##FROM: "Bob Farmer" &lt;<A HREF="mailto:ucs_brf@unx1.shsu.edu">ucs_brf@unx1.shsu.edu</A>&gt;
##DIFF:

##OS: UnixWare 2.1.2
##COMPILER: cc (supplied)
##MISC: The gzip, awk, and sed in /usr/local/bin are the corresponding GNU
utilities.  This is with UnixWare 2.1.2 (the latest version at the
moment), and the cc that's supplied with the system of course.  I have the
UnixWare Software Development Kit installed, I don't think it's necessary
to compile INN though.  The same setup should more or less work for all
UnixWare 2.x versions.  1.x would probably be somewhat different...
