Hi All, can anyone point me into the direction of some information on how
to setup in.nntpd on a linux system.

The man pages that come with slackware about nntpd are hopeless. If I try
and connect to my host using nntp I always get the message

rtin: 502 beast NNTP server can't talk to you.  Goodbye.

What am I doing wrong??? I'm read the News-Howto, give no info on nntpd.

What can I run instead on nntpd if I must change?

Regards..
