Hi, I'm a newbie at the NNTP server on FreeBSD and I'm having a bit of a
problem..


I installed the NNTP package from freebsd and it installed ok or seemed
to and so did cnews.. I then changed the inetd.conf file to show
nntp with an owner of news ..

Now when a  user connects to the news server they get an error that
somthing went wrong on the server and on the server a message pops up
that says

June 3 1997 news nntpd[147]:get_socket:bind:permission denied

this is all that happens.. Now i cannot find any docs on my system for
anything other than NNTPD and it is fairly vauge and only talks of one
config file nntp_access which i set up and still received the above
error message... Can any one help with this probelm..

Thanks alot for any and all help....
