nnrpd problem

[Brendan Crowley (EEI)]

Hi,
nnrpd is dead, in fact it was never spawned. This is my problem.
How does INN spawn nnrpd, what configuration files control it?
When I manually run nnrpd as a daemon, I can read and post messages on the same machine, however I cannot even find the news server from another networked machine. What could I be doing wrong?
I suspect its related to NNTP and nnrpd?
Can somebody please help me,
/Brendan.
