Hello All,

I've made a change in nntpserv.c:

WRAP_LENGTH = 79

To test, I've read a bunch of messages in both slrn and Thunderbird, and
posted a couple times with both, also (though I don't think posting would
have much to do with this setting). Things seem better than they were
before. Feel free to give it a try if you're seeing some wierd wrapping
issues. :)

Regards,
Nick

So far on our own personal systems, while working out some bugs and/or limitations. I'm not sure anyone alive right now was given any commit
access to either one of those links.

Most of us basically built from one of those above links, and have added patches together in discussion here, and maybe a bit via netmail.

Problem is, I don't believe any of us are self proclaiming ourselves as a programmer of any kind, so (in my opinion) we have been working together
this way and has worked so far.

Are we somehow able to gain access to either of those github sites if the original maintainer has passed away?

Nick

Nevermind this. Back to WRAP_LENGTH = 72 when it started making lines I
quoted too long.

Also just realized I had changed the mailnews.wraplength setting in
Thunderbird early on to 75 columns when it was 72 to begin with. So I
reverted that as well in hopes that it fixes the original issue.

I played with this once, set it to 990. It helps, but it created issues with quoting. That was before the fixes of Carlos. I'll try again. :)

Thanks for getting the ball rolling. You made me get off my ass and figure out github. I had only known 'clone' and 'pull' until recently.

I have forked them both, and they are currently matching each other with patches and features. Please check the CHANGELOG to see what's been done:

Ah, it is not about repo anymore, it is more about a commitment to be a maintainer for both projects. :-)

Though, it would be more fun if you can merge them in a way that there is a #ifdef use SMAPI or jamlib, cause the rest should be exactly the same.
As a sanity check, if you process NNTP requests differently, then you are basically failed. This is the same code which had forked worked at some point and later continued in a separate directions.

I didn't come from CVS or SVN, I came from never really programming before, so never had anything I needed to 'commit', 'push', 'rebase', etc. It was just a bit of a learning curve to go in the opposite direction from just being an end user to a maintainer.

Kind of, I guess. The code hasn't been touched since like 2013 (Maybe some spelling errors and dates changed till about 2016). So my commitment is really only to myself, but may as well share it since they both fix quite a few things that were outstanding bugs.

Though, it would be more fun if you can merge them in a way that
there is a #ifdef use SMAPI or jamlib, cause the rest should be
exactly the same. As a sanity check, if you process NNTP requests differently, then you are basically failed. This is the same code
which had forked worked at some point and later continued in a
separate directions.

First, I don't think there is really any good reason for an option, as smapi supports JAM, Squish, and MSG formats, and is far more up to date than jamlib. Also, jamlib isn't even 64bit compatible.

Second, it would probably require a LOT more than just an #ifdef. Both programs are definitely *not* the same as far as code goes. They're similar, but quite a bit different at the same time. The most recent feature I added to Smapinntpd first, and when I ported it over to Jamnntpd it wasn't as easy as I had thought it would be. Then again, I don't really consider myself a programmer, but it definitely wasn't just a direct copy/paste. Some lines needed to be changed completely (usually lines utilizing jamlib or smapi, of course).

For now, if I add a feature to one, I will most likely add it to the other as well. Then I will make sure to try to fix my mistakes and typos. :)

- Jamlib working on 64bit without the -m32 option would be nice.

- Including smapi with smapinntpd and it all compiling together in one shot would also be nice (I tried once already, and failed), so one doesn't have to go out of their way to install dependencies. I will try this again at some point.

It's a fun little project to cure some times of boredom, that's for sure.

Nick

Yup, I see it there now, thanks so much.


Also, in my smapinntpd.allow I had just one uncommented line:

127.0.0.1

When I upgraded to this version I was getting "Access Denied" messages, assuming due to the IPv6 support.

Changing the line to ::ffff:127.0.0.1 didn't seem to help, changing it to *127.0.0.1 seemed to do the trick.

Not sure if you would want to include that as an example for IPv4 addresses in that file? I haven't looked, but I'm wondering if the code reading smapinntpd.allow doesn't recognize the : character.

This is the original default line that has always been there, and should be changed to suit your needs.

" What Is 127.0.0.1

127.0.0.1 is a host loopback address. Host loopback refers to the fact that no data packet addressed to 127.0.0.1 should ever leave the computer (host), sending it --- instead of being sent to the local network or the internet, it simply gets "looped back" on itself, and the computer sending the packet becomes the recipient."

Also, in the paragraph above it tells you "*" supercedes the rest of what follows, so *127.0.0.1 is actually just "*", and with that said...

If you want to allow ALL connections, use:

* <read group> <post group>

Keep in mind, this file is only allowing NON-LOGGED IN clients access to specific groups.

You DON'T want to allow access to all of your message areas prior to them setting up an account with you and logging in, so you setup a dummy area and group like "+GETACCESS+" in group X (for example) and that would be the only group and area a non-logged in account would have access to. They can post a message there requesting access to anything else, which you would have to set them up manually in the smapinntpd.users file, where you specify what LOGGED IN accounts have access to.

Not sure if you would want to include that as an example for IPv4 addresses in that file?  I haven't looked, but I'm wondering if the code reading smapinntpd.allow doesn't recognize the : character.

I don't think "*" should be a default example in any case, since that could potentially cause problems. so I think the '127.0.0.1' is and always has been just a placeholder for people to change.

Nick

Good to know! I've been running the ipv6-patched version for years, but never limited the access via the .allow file. "*" there only. :)

From smapinntpd.allow:

# "*" can be used as a wildcard. Everything after "*" is ignored, i. e.
# 127.0.*.1 is equivalent to 127.0.*. Just write "*" alone on a line to
# allow all IP numbbers.

This means *127.0.0.1 = *

Which is exactly what you're doing already.

127.0.0.1 is probably just a placeholder for the host machine itself, so that you're not allowing traffic from the outside world without knowledge of it if/when one tries starting smapinntpd up for the first time without specifics.

You can always try limiting actual IP addresses in that file (and by all means, try actual IPv6 addresses to see if they work).

Before I just had 127.0.0.1 as I only want to allow connections from nginx running on the same VPS.

What would I put in smapinntpd.allow if I wanted to restrict access to a single IPv4 address?

I don't have port 5000 exposed to the public internet, so it's not really much of a concern, more of a belt & suspenders approach.

I would assume the exact IPv4 address you want to allow (if it is outside your LAN). If it's the same machine smapinntpd is running on, try your LAN IP address (192.168.1.xxx, or whatever it is). If you want to allow any machine from inside your LAN, you can probably do something like 192.168.1.*. You could also try your WAN IP address, if you wish to connect from the same computer, but for some reason want to connect using a FQDN.

Tinker with it. I believe you can put multiple lines in there, and wildcards should work. Please let me know if you run into any problems, as I've always just used "*" in that file, so I don't have much testing with it.

I'm going to assume you have SmapiNNTPd listening on port 5000?

That said, it seems to be connecting fine, but now something may be broken with the .allow file now (I get this is what you were trying to explain before).

I've kind of figured out what's going on, at the moment. Since IPv6 support was added, it is now storing the full address.domain (lookup) there. Basically, what you're seeing in the log after "Connection established to" is what is being checked for in smapinntpd.allow.

Looking at your log above:

Try putting 'localhost' in that file, rather than 127.0.0.1. And if you want to allow your laptop, try putting this in there:

cpe1056117c4a5b-cm1056117c4a59.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com

If you connect via IPv6, look at your smapinntpd.log again to see what to use.

Let me know if that works for you (for now).

Nick

Yup, putting localhost & the rogers.com hostname into smapinntpd.allow does the trick.

::ffff:127.0.0.1 still didn't allow connections from localhost.


Thanks,

Yep, I noticed that after I replied to you and went to actually test it for myself. :)

Did you by chance try out the latest version with huskylib and smapi included? I'd like to know if it works for you (compiling, that is.. nothing has changed with the .allow file yet).

Yes, I cloned that one & ran the ./build.sh first which worked and then make linux went off without a hitch as well.

Was nice not having to go into the file & point it to the husky sources, good work! :)

Excellent, glad to hear! And thanks for testing.

Definitely shouldn't have to do that. :)
