# rpm -q inn inews inn-devel
inn-2.3.5-6
inews-2.3.5-6
Paket inn-devel ist nicht installiert

/etc/news/
/usr/lib/news/bin/
/var/lib/news/
/var/log/news/


start here:
# grep makedbz -r /usr/share/doc/inn-2.3.5/
/usr/share/doc/inn-2.3.5/INSTALL:        makedbz -i
/usr/share/doc/inn-2.3.5/NEWS:    seperate program, makedbz. 
makehistory still generates the base history
/usr/share/doc/inn-2.3.5/NEWS:        makedbz -s `wc -l <history.n` -f
history.n

or here:
http://howto.ipng.be/INN-Suck-HOWTO/INN-Suck-HOWTO-2.html

and try:
# su - news -c "/usr/lib/news/bin/makehistory"
# su - news -c "/usr/lib/news/bin/makedbz -i"
rename all /var/lib/news/history.n.* to /var/lib/news/history.*
check if the owner:group is news:news and mode 644

  prepare storage.conf for "traditional spool":
# man storage.conf
# grep -5 tradspool /etc/news/storage.conf
#       newsgroups: *
#       class: 3
#       size: 4000,1000000
#       options: BIGAREA
#}
method tradspool {
        newsgroups: *
        class: 4
}


  quik enabled 192.168.0.0/24:
# man raeders.conf
# grep -3 ^auth /etc/news/readers.conf
# commented-out examples).  This assigns the identity of <localhost> to
# the local machine
 
auth "localhost" {
    hosts: "localhost, 127.0.0.1, stdin, 192.168.0.0/24"
    default: "<localhost>"
}



  a quick test newsgroup:
# man ctlinnd
# /usr/lib/news/bin/ctlinnd newgroup test

  all ok?:
# service innd restart
# telnet 192.168.0.1 119
# /usr/lib/news/bin/scanlogs | less
