Everything appears to install OK but whenever I try to access the news server I get errors saying that the server cannot talk to you right now. Also when I try to telnet to port 119 it comes back with a 502 message and says essentially the same thing. I have configured nntpd to run under inetd.conf, and the nntp entries are in /etc/services. Any ideas on what could be wrong would be appreciated. Eli
