In localhost.freebsd.questions you write: >I am attempting to setup nntpd. I installed it and changed the owner and >group to news on all the files. I also changed the nntp line in the >/etc/inetd.conf file to look like: >nntp stream tcp nowait news /usr/local/libexec/nntpd nntpd Two things. 1. is nntp in /etc/services ? 2. Is your nntpd configured to accept connections from your IP address? (I believe that nntpd has access control options which you may be running afoul of?) Can you run nntpd by hand? (e.g. type /usr/local/libexec/nntpd and see what happens). >I sent a HUP signal to the inetd process, but I am still getting >Connection Refused if I attempt to telnet to the 119 port. >Please help! >Sincerely, >Daniel C.
