sir,

 pl help me. i am tired and frustrated. doing it for
long time but can not configure

My problem is : A local news server is to be
established on linux. I am using Red hAt 9.0 inn 2.3 +
The news group would be local one + the new server
won't connect to the outside world. ony local posting
and reading through pine.
Also group can be created by local users in a domain.

I have got up to :
when i connect through pine there
are no news groups showed
I can connect through telnet newsserver 119
and can post an article
all the articles are being stored in
/var/spoo/news/incoming 
for eg.... 3fdce556554.news server

Also my server name is discuss.iitg.ernet.in and is
under proxy. since i want it be intra for local people
only

##  Format:
##      <parameter>:<whitespace><value>
##
##  Blank values are allowed for certain parameters.
##
##  See the inn.conf(5) man page for a full
description of each of these
##  options.  This sample file is divided into two
sections; first, there
##  are the parameters that must be set (or should be
set in nearly all
##  cases), and then all parameters are given with
their defaults for
##  reference in the same order and with the same
organization as the
##  inn.conf(5) documentation.

# The following parameters are most likely to need
setting, although the
# defaults generated by configure may be reasonable.
