Chances are that if you dont know what it is, you should have it running.
inn is the InterNetNews server (aka Usenet or NetNews). Since you
probably dont want to be running this, I would do the following:
run '/usr/sbin/ntsysv' and disable innd. This will keep it from starting
up the next time you restart your system.
To kill the currently running inn daemon you should run
'/etc/rc.d/init.d/innd stop' and if it's running it will be halted.
and for future reference, inn.conf is in /etc/news/
you could even go so far as to 'rpm -e inn-2.2.2-3' (if that is the
version you have) to remove it from your system.
