Getting SSL to work with INN

I've read through what I could find in the users archive, and on the 
net, and the manpages.

It seems vague about how to get nntps running properly.

I followed the instructions to generate a certificate (presumed 
self-signed).  It seems there are several options in sasl.conf. This is 
what I have:

tls_ca_path:            /usr/local/news/lib
tls_cert_file:          /usr/local/news/lib/cert.pem
tls_key_file:           /usr/local/news/lib/cert.pem
tls_ca_file:            /usr/local/news/lib/cert.pem

But some of the vague documentation suggests I might need to create an 
rc.news.local script and put nnrpd -S in there somewhere to get SSL 
working?

Thanks.
