I would use the nntp port available in the ports directory. I compiled and installed it with little effort, though I had to touch a couple of things. I sent the changes to the ports mailing list, but I don't think they are updated yet. The only problem I have (probably due to a lack of knowledge) is that when a user connects to the server, it outputs the following line to the syslog daemon: list: fopen /usr/local/lib/news/subscriptions: no such file or directory However, it works fine, so that must be some secondary file whose purpose is unknown to me (I didn't find it in any docs). Of course, all C-News control files are in /usr/local/lib/news. If anybody knows what that is, please tell me so that I polish nntpd installation :-)
