Hello,

Re/ nn, you can only do this by modifying the source:

 # fgrep 119 *
 nntp.c:#define  IPPORT_NNTP     119
 nntp.c.orig:#define     IPPORT_NNTP     119
 # fgrep IPPORT_NNTP
 nntp.c:#ifndef IPPORT_NNTP
 nntp.c:#define  IPPORT_NNTP     119
 nntp.c:    sin.sin_port = htons(IPPORT_NNTP);
 nntp.c.orig:#ifndef IPPORT_NNTP
 nntp.c.orig:#define     IPPORT_NNTP     119
 nntp.c.orig:    sin.sin_port = htons(IPPORT_NNTP);

on the other hand, it seems that the port 563 of the above server does
not offer NNTP, check with telnet.

La referencia de la Duma a la anexión de la RDA, en este caso al contrario con la Crimlía sin
referéndum, no solamente tiene gracia sino da en el blanco.-
