Hi,

I wrote a patch for SSL support(RFC 2595) of nnrpd.
cf. <sgzotqat44.wl at vlsi.kuee.kyoto-u.ac.jp>

Get it from
ftp://ftp.opaopa.org/pub/inn/inn-2000-03-03_03-01-starttls.patch.gz 

and build as follows.

% autoconf
% ./configure --with-ssl=/usr/local/ssl
% make
# make install
# make cert	[only once]

You can use a command `starttls' in NNRP.

A sample client I use is
ftp://ftp.opaopa.org/pub/inn/starttls-0.2.tar.gz .

% starttls <news-server-name> 119
Server> 200 onodera-news InterNetNews NNRP server INN 2.3experimental 14-Dec-1999 ready (posting ok).
Client> starttls
Server> 382 Begin TLS negotiation now

In order to start negotiation, run next commands in another terminal.
% ps -aef | grep starttls
% kill -ALRM <starttls-PID>

;; starttls-0.2.tar.gz has some bugs. :)
