Cannot force IPv4 on nncp-daemon — I was trying to follow the "Rob's NNCP Guide" tutorial thingy and I got to setting up a secondary node and trying to transfer with nncp-daemon, but I hit a snag: nncp-daemon insists on IPv6 whether the system supports it or not. As such, I just got errors (though I don't know why this system wouldn't support IPv6: it's only a few years old) like: "daemon.go:264: Can not do MCD transmission: listen udp [::Censored%lo]:6627: socket: address family not supported…

Hybrid Call Patch for NNCP — As of v8.12.0, NNCP no longer compiles into a suite of standalone programs, one for each utility (nncp-file, nncp-call, nncp-toss, etc.). It now compiles into a single binary, and each utility is invoked by creating a symlink named as the utility (nncp-file -> nncp, nncp-call -> nncp, nncp-toss -> nncp, etc.). The program checks the name it was called as, then it invokes the utility specified by the name. This paradigm...

NNCP v8.12 has been released. This version combines all the NNCP utilities into one executable to simplify the installation process and shrink its footprint. It also fixes a relative path traversal vulnerability when invoking 'file' or 'freq'.

John Goerzen has released NNCPNET, an implementation of e-mail that uses NNCP instead of (or optionally alongside) SMTP. [gemini link]

This is a subspace for NNCP. NNCP (Node to Node Copy) is a set of Unix utilities for store-and-forward file exchange and remote command execution. It is a spiritual successor to UUCP.
