I couldn't tweak the packaged INN correctly and get it to work, so I 
ended up doing a pkg_delete on it, grabbing the _port_ from 
ftp.freebsd.org and compiling it. Went in w/o a problem, innwatch stopped 
vomiting on me.

I _suspect_ that it was just a setting or directory I had failed to 
create/chmod correctly. The port's install has worked w/o a hitch for me 
now for 3 days, while the pkg would fault 5 minutes after rc.news was ran.
