Hello, I've just gone through the process of installing NNTPD and INN on our FreeBSD 2.2.5 system. Everything seems to be running okay, but when I connect with a newsreader, I get every newsgroup under the sun (almost 30000). I would like to set up for a PULL feed of only around 2000 or less than that. I can't seem to see where the program is pulling this huge list of groups. I don't want to get the actual feed turned on until I know I'm not going to fill up the server with all those news articles. The other problem I have with NNTPD is that when the newsreader connects, I get the following message on the console: Jul 16 10:45:28 hmd nntpd[1426]: nlist of /vmunix failed: No such file or direct ory Jul 16 11:20:13 hmd nntpd[1640]: nlist of /vmunix failed: No such file or direct ory Jul 16 11:28:13 hmd nntpd[1679]: nlist of /vmunix failed: No such file or direct ory Why is it looking for this directory and how can I fix this? Also when I started INN, I got this message: Jul 16 09:55:20 hmd inndstart: inndstart cant bind Address already in use Is INN supposed to function without NNTPD? Or do they work together? Even though I got this error, the processes are running.
