Hello all,

I installed INN 2.3.0 on solaris 8. I did configure a bit with the help of
all of you and my innd is running very well now.
I can telnet on my local server where I installed INN and I can execute
command list active and it is able to show me the active list too.

But I from other machine or client when I telnet my server I am able to
establish connection but can't see "LIST ACTIVE" etc.

It gives me this message
bash# telnet congo nntp
Trying 192.80.10.239...
Connected to congo.crc.ricoh.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
200 congo.crc.ricoh.com InterNetNews NNRP server INN 2.3.0 ready (posting
ok).
list active
215 Newsgroups in form "group high low flags".
.



news.crit error:

Also in my mail as well as in news.crit and news.err I am getting these
error message.
I am willing to create a newsgroup which I want to name as "IDEAS" and this
will be local news server only, I am not accessing anything out of my
internal network.



Can some one help me to write newsfeeds file and can guide me what kind of
entry I have to make and how to make.



THanks in advance.

Thanks,
manoj
