I've been having trouble getting nn to work running Linux 1.1.54, from
the slackware distribution. I'm running a slip connection, rtin works,
although quite slow to initiate the newslists. I was hoping nn could
speedup the process. I installed it using pkgtool, but get various
errors such as cannot open file /var/spool/nn/MASTER. Any insights?
I've read the nn-FAQ included with the pkg. The nn handbook, and the
Network Administrators Guide - with no luck. Thanks in advance - please

Run "/usr/lib/nn/nnmaster -I" to initialize the database.

Put the name of your NNTP server in "/etc/nntpserver".

Finally, put "/usr/lib/nn/nnmaster -l -r -C" in your
"/etc/rc.d/rc.local" file.

For what its worth,

I did all the above except I use cron to run nnmaster, I am getting all
kinds of articles but nn won't display any articles. It gets to the
connecting to NNTP server <blah.blah.blah> and then hangs. Would anyone
have any ideas as to where I should look to fix it?

Please ignore plea for help :-), The problem is fixed now. I had nnmaster
running almost all the time, tying up the SLIP connection, as soon as I
edited my crontab file to a more reasonable time it worked ok...
