HI,

Hope someone can help.
I have installed Redhat 9.0.93 Beta (Severn) and am running INND form the 
installation disks.
inn-2.3.5-6

I have read through the installation documentation regarding INND and still 
seem to have a small problem.
I have setup innd in the following way (To be a stand alone news server):

/etc/news/inn.conf
server localhost
nnrpdposthost: *BLANK*
spoolfirst: false
(I think thats the main info there)

/etc/news/expire.ctl I left the same
/etc/news/incoming.conf
peer ME {
  hostname:         "localhost, 127.0.0.1, news.office.DOMAIN.com"
}

/etc/news/readers.conf

auth "localhost" {
    hosts: "localhost, 127.0.0.1, stdin"
    default: "<localhost>"
}

access "localhost" {
    users: "<localhost>"
    newsgroups: "*,!junk,!control,!control.*"
    access: RPA
}

auth "DOMAIN.com" {
    hosts: "*.DOMAIN.com, DOMAIN.com, 10.10.10.0/24"
    default: "*"
    default-domain: "DOMAIN.com"
}

access "all" {
    users: "*@DOMAIN.com"
    newsgroups: "*,!junk,!control,!control.*"
    access: "RPA"
}

And storage.conf:
method timehash {
        newsgroups: *
        class: 0
}

So if I take a normal News Client like thunderbird. I can create the news 
account and subscribe to the news groups I have created. I am also able to 
post to the group, (at this point I take a look at the server to see if the 
messages arrived or if there are any error logs, to find that the messages 
are sitting in the /var/spool/news/articles directory and there are no 
errors) but am not able to view the messages through the client. Am I 
missing something or a document somewhere? Can anyone point me in the right 
direction.

Thanks in advance

Ryan
