WordPress is a fairly simple system that might give you what you want. Not exactly a "forum", but does allow people to 'comment' on blog entries (posts), which might be all you need. It does allow for the site adminstrator to grant authoring privs to other users. And there might be plugins that implement full-fledged forums (I haven't looked). Joomla! is a more comprehensive CMS system and it does have extensions that implement forums. -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 / heller at deepsoft.com Deepwoods Software -- http://www.deepsoft.com/ () ascii ribbon campaign -- against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org -- against proprietary attachments

Nevertheless, if unable to find an alternative in the NNTP space, something you may want to try is cyrus-imap + shared (readonly) mailboxes + any imap client on the planet ------------------------------------------ M?rio Barbosa <mario.barbosa at log.pt> SysAdmin @ log log <www.log.pt> ------------------------------------------

What replaces inn?INN the NNTP server? If that's the one, then you might try leafnode, which should be in rpmforge. --keith -- kkeller at wombat.san-francisco.ca.us -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I just tried that on Scientific Linux 6.0, and "rpmbuild -ba" built everything just fine with no changes whatsoever. I checked the SELinux policy in SL-60, and all the inn stuff seems to be there, so no problem there either. Tracking updates would of course be up to you if you go that way. -- Bob Nichols "NOSPAM" is really part of my email address. Do NOT delete it.
In a past life when i was working with IRIX systems, i changed from innd to DNews (http://netwinsite.com/dnews/install.htm, http://netwinsite.com/dnews/faq1.htm#2). Looks like it's been out of development since 2007 (but what's changed nntp-wise since 2007? dunno), but it was a piece of cake to configure and administer. - csawyer ? -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces at centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces at centos.org] On Behalf Of Reynolds McClatchey Sent: 27 April 2011 14:57 To: centos at centos.org Subject: [CentOS] INN removed from CentOS 6 I use inn to make internal company announcements and discussions available to remote offices.
