Hello:
To help you with your problem more info is needed. I run an INN 2.2.2
server on RH 6.0. I was
able to get most of my help from a site called mibsoftware.com. For a
small fee they will allow
access to the sites config files for a standard INN setup. What version
of INN are you running?
Can you give more log file info from /var/log/messages rather than the
errlog. Is this server a reader
or a feeding server or both. You say you set up a newsgroup. I assume you
mean your running an
internal newserver for local use by a small group or are you receiving
newsgroups via a downstream
provider via push feed or whatever method. There is a newsgroup called I
believe news.software.nntp
that dives deep into this. There are many linux users on this list also
that can help in your configuration.
You can access this group via deja.com unless you have a usenet news
service. The best way I have
found to set up a INN is to get the latest tar file and configure it
yourself. There is a setup file that asks
many questions about how you will be using INN that results in a good INN
setup. That was with RH 6.0
though. The INN version with 6.2 may be a little easier to configure but
again I would need more info
to steer you in the right direction and so would the folks on the
news.software.nntp list.
Info such as your storage method, your INN version, a good snip of your
/var/log/messages.
I hope this helps.
Best of Luck,
Eddie Strohmier
