However, both Torsten (who made it) and I agree on the fact that it is better to compile and install INN by yourself without going thru the port. Everything is in either the Install.ms file or the FAQ (included in the unoff dists). It enables you to change the paths as you like and makes you understand how INN work better. As for the config.data, you will find one in the unoff2 and unoff3 distributions from Dave Barr (I can send it by mail for the impatient). The config.data uses /news for the spool, separate overchan data into /news/over.view and uses /usr/local/news for binaries and data files. I recommend the unoff2/3 dists as they fix many problems and offer extra features such as streaming mode for nntpsend.
