+Subject: 5.5. Running INN on Mac OS X
+
+Richard Tobin provided the following advice in news.software.nntp on
+2013-06-29 based on experience with running INN on Snow Leopard:
+
+ Mac OS X, at least through the GUI, won't let you create a group with
+ the same name as a user. So you can't use "news" for both.
+
+ The Perl module GD isn't installed by default. GPG is not installed
+ by default.
+
+ You probably want to turn off Spotlight for the news spool directory.
+
+ Configure didn't get the Perl compile flags right. PERL_CPPFLAGS had
+ "-arch x86_64 -arch i386 -arch ppc", but on this x86_64 machine the
+ files for the other architectures don't seem to be installed. I
+ edited Makefile.global by hand to remove them.
+
+ I needed to tell the application firewall to allow innd to accept
+ incoming connections. (A window pops up to ask you, but this doesn't
+ help when you're connected by ssh!)
+
+ When I ran rc.news form a terminal window, it stopped working when I
+ logged out. This is because of MacOS's convoluted and undocumented
+ way of doing DNS lookups. Using "nohup" fixed it -- not because of
+ anything to do with SIGHUP, but because nohup calls an undocumented
+ function related to "vprocmgr". Running from launchd shouldn't have
+ this problem, and it appears to be fixed in Mountain Lion.
+
+The Perl flags come from the Perl configuration, so this problem may be
+fixed with newer builds of Mac OS X.
