From the Install.ms doc, which is included with the
INN package.

2.  Standard NNTP daemon

     You can use the ``standard'' nntpd server.  You  should
only  have  to do this if you have hosts that do both random
newsreading and bulk transfer.

     Make sure that you configure nntpd so that it is  using
DBZ,  and  have  it  feed  each individual article to inews;
don't use the ``batched input'' option.  It should  also  be
set up so that it acts as if it is running under inetd.  You
should also make sure that inetd does nothing with the  NNTP
port, number 119.
