This means that when you installed SuSE you installed news from the
install CD, and it's running. Well, something is running on that port,
but I bet it's whatever news SuSE provides. It might actually be
adequate to your needs, and definitely should be removed if it isn't.

Are you connecting to port 790 or the default (119) port?

First find out what's happening with the port in use issue, then address
your problems.
