Any help appreciated

I'm late to the party (I've not been active here recently), but if you
still have the issue, here's my configuration.

I have inn running normally, on port 119, and it drops non-peers to
nnrpd, which accepts STARTTLS to switch to TLS.

I also have the following entry in my inetd.conf:

nntps   stream  tcp     nowait  news    /usr/local/news/bin/nnrpd nnrpd -S

So connections to port nntps (563) are guarded by TLS from the beginning
(without STARTTLS).

I don't know if it's the official way to do it, but it works without any
problems.

BTW, when you post to multiple groups, don't insert spaces after the
commas. Some software might not like it (tin complains).
