If you see a message appear (and quickly disappear) on the bottom of the
screen, just before it is replaced by your news article/list, it may be
because /usr/local/news/inews doesn't exist.
cd /usr/local/news
ln -s bin/inews inews
Otherwise, you may have your config files wrong. Is local host in
nnrpd.access ?
