NNTP
As mentioned earlier, NNTP transport has been a popular choice for conversion to IPv6. Strangely though, despite seemingly significant deployment, the standard news servers have been slow to ship with built-in IPv6 support, usually requiring patches. It is possible that this tells us something about the sort of people who run news servers...
The 2.4.X family of INN releases ship with IPv6 support. To enable it you must configure it with the —enable-ipv6 flag. For IPv6 support to work, innd must be started via inndstart, but this is the usual configuration. You may also need to specify a bindaddress6 in inn.conf, enclosed in double quotes. For more details, see the usual INN man pages.
Version 5.0 of Diablo supports IPv6. Though the support is experimental it has been used in CVS versions of Diablo for several years and it seems to work well. Advice on installing, the Diablo download page, release notes, hints for upgrading and mailing lists can be found off http://www.openusenet.org/diablo/.
Leafnode is commonly run by those who don't want to run a whole news server, just to allow a few users to read a few Usenet groups. Leafnode has supported IPv6 for a few years, though if you are compiling it yourself you'll need to run configure with the —with-ipv6 option.
