Hi guys,
The only lines in my passwd.nntp file were:
deathray.internal::
#192.168.0.3::
Which I tried one at a time and no joy. I was under the impression they needed
to be in eachothers passwd.nntp file, after your suggestion that the default
should be all lines commented out, I tried that and it worked fine.
So much time wasted.
Thanks guys,
James Reilly
