I tried INN with SSL, so far I have the CERT file (with both certificate 
and private key in it) and put it in the .../inn-ssl/lib/ dir.
With owner: news:news / chmod 700 ...
and starting it as user "news" with:
./nnrpd -D -f -S -p 11563

I get:

Oct  3 19:39:45 linux nnrpd[7902]: bad ownership or permissions on 
private key '/sites/inn-ssl/lib/cert.pem'
Oct  3 19:39:45 linux nnrpd[7902]: error initializing TLS: [CA_file: ] 
[CA_path: /sites/inn-ssl/lib] [cert_file: /sites/inn-ssl/lib/cert.pem]
[key_file: /sites/inn-ssl/lib/cert.pem]

If I change it to root:root (And run it as root):
Oct  3 19:48:25 linux nnrpd[8470]: unable to get certificate from 
'/sites/inn-ssl/lib/cert.pem'
Oct  3 19:48:25 linux nnrpd[8470]: error initializing TLS: [CA_file: ] 
[CA_path: /sites/inn-ssl/lib] [cert_file: /sites/inn-ssl/lib/cert.pem] 
[key_file: /sites/inn-ssl/lib/cert.pem]

What am I missing, also should nnrpd really be running as root?
