I've gotten INN running (finally) from the source on ftp.cdrom.com, and 
everything seems OK, innd loads up, I can attach clients, etc..., but I can't 
post. I run inews -h, make a test message (including Newsgroups:, Subject:) and
send it off with a ^D and I keep getting a

Required "Subject" header is missing or empty.
(Aritcle not posted.)

I'm capitalizing Subject and leaving a space, posting to valid groups etc... 
When I try to post from a client I just get a "Posting Error". Also I've tried 
telneting to port 119 and I get the "INN server etc... " message but can't get 
it to do anything. Both the server and client are in the hosts.nntp and 
nnrp.access.
I'm running NetBSD 0.9 on a 486/50 w/8megs RAM and a 3c507 NIC.

                Thanks - James
