Warning! Be careful about setting up nntpcache testing. I set up a couple of servers to run nntpcache to see if it would recurve the news traffic in a way that I could present to the all powerful accounting department to get money... a little ways into my test I got an email from the nntpcache people saying: It has come to our attention that you are running an unlicensed nntpcache server. If we get your check within 7 days we will not pursue this matter. OUCH! So not only do I not complete my tests (actually nntpcache seems to lock up frequently on my server, requiring a shutdown/restart to make it function again), but now I'm going to be 'pursued' for running it? Sheesh! Even M$ lets people test run a good portion of its products. Just a note! Be Wary. Also, the licensing requirements should probably be made more plain in the /usr/ports directory. *shrug* (and the licensing requirements are harsh) -Steve
