I've spent  couple of days getting /usr/ports/news/inn set up on a 
dedicated server and most of the local features are working.  I've 
loaded the newsgroups and the active files from 
ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/CONFIG, restarted the server and set up an 
upstream peer  collect articles. 

But my client claims I have no newsgroups installed.  Does anyone have a 
hint on further configuration or can someone point me to a resource that 
might clarify the steps to proper configuration?

My system:
