This indicates that the server is actually starting so
the /etc/host.allow and other /etc/inetd.conf files are
correct. While I'm not an expert with NNTP I think that
this service is password protected. This means that the
NNTP daemon will check your host name against it's own
password file and if you don't exist it throws you out.
Look for a password file in /usr/lib/news.
