Troubleshooting standalone INN

Hi.

I'm trying to setup a standalone NNTP server (ie: no incoming feeds, just
local newsgroups) for the first time, and I'm having some difficulties. I'm
using INN 2.1, but I would gladly use a different program if there are
better options out there.

I've followed the installation instructions precisely, but when I get to the
final step:

# su news /usr/local/news/bin/rc.news

nothing happens. The setup script keeps running, but the server never
starts. I get no error messages of any kind.

# ps
12806 ttyp0 I 0:00.27 sh /usr/local/news/bin/innwatch
12848 ttyp0 I 0:00.03 sleep 600

So I could really use one or more of the following:
- INN installation war stories / solutions
- help coaxing more diagnostic info about of INN
- reccomendations for alternative NNTP server software

Thanks!

ian
