Hmmm.... I don't see what you could be missing. Yes, unfortunately there is no mention of what FBSD release this applies to, etc. :-( One possible problem could be he's trying to run the -current style ALONE daemon. Another problem could be he's exec-ing /usr/local/libexec/nntpd when the daemon is really in /usr/local/sbin/nntpd. Perhaps digging through the log files (hint hint, Dan) might be in order! > I probably assumed wrong.

Note that this will only work if he's using the -current (i.e. #define ALONE) version, right? (did this just change in -current or is it also the case for 2.1.5R?) --don
