  • JamNNTPD and HPT on Linux 64bit

    From Fabio Bizzi@2:335/364.1 to All on Mon Jul 22 07:48:58 2019
    Hello All!

    Is there anyone in that runs JamNNTPD on Linux 64bit and HPT?
    I'm trying to run it and it's run smoothly to read messages, when I try to write a message it adds an empty corrupted message in the base and do nothing else.

    The message is totally empty (no from, to and so on) and if I try to scan the base with hpt, hpt crashes and coredump. :(

    The only way to fix the message base is to delete the corrupted message with golded and purge the base with sqpack.

    The user that runs JamNNTPD is the same of HPT and the owner of the message base.

    Any Hint? :)

    Many thanks!

    Ciao!
    Fabio

    I have also found out this. 32bit is ok, 64bit is not. Also the same thing in windows (cygwin).

    I suspect it is the jamapi...

    you should check in the JAMNNTPD echo but my first question is "are the variables using the proper sizes and alignments for a 64bit build?" my first guess is that whatever JAMNNTPd code you are using hasn't been properly adjusted for 32bit data in a 64bit build...

    I'll ask there as soon as possible.

    the variables using the proper sizes and alignments for a 64bit

    Good question, I downloaded the latest release 1.3 from the home site and I didn't care about digging into the source code. :(
    I haven't found any hint about 64 bit on the docs.

    my first guess is that whatever JAMNNTPd code you are using
    hasn't been properly adjusted for 32bit data in a 64bit build...

    That's my fear, I'll have to link the JAMNNTPD echo and ask help there.
