Hello Kumar

After doing the basic steps i am getting "unable to connect to the server
error"
i am facing the following problem

not able to start   /etc/init.d/innd start  ,it is saying
please run makehistory and/or makedbz before starting innd
i am able to run    /usr/lib/news/bin/makehistory
but when i run     /usr/lib/news/bin/makedbz      it is saying  "cant do
dbzagain no such file or directory"

i ran   /etc/rc.news   ,it said "inndstart must be run by user news"

su news
/etc/rc.news gives me starting innd
 /usr/lib/news/bin/inndstart
/usr/lib/news/bin/makehistory   commands are working
 /usr/lib/news/bin/makedbz    is saying "cant do dbzagain no such file or
directory"


my /etc/inn.conf file contents

mta:                    /usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -oem %s
organization:          testing
ovmethod:               tradindexed
pathhost:               10.199.4.56
pathnews:               /usr/lib/news

# General Settings

domain:
innflags:
mailcmd:                /usr/lib/news/bin/innmail
server:                 10.199.4.56

Thanks for the link,i am running redhat 9.0 and there are so many
configurations involved.I am confused is there anyway i can configure
newsgroup in X or a more simple way.i tried webmin but innd is not there.

Thanks
