I'm having trouble installing nntp on a Sun 4, SunOS 4.0.1

When I try to run rrn, remotely I get the following messages
in the servers log file:
Jul 25 09:03:17 auto-trol nntpd[3839]: host_access: getpeername: Socket is not connected
Jul 25 09:03:17 auto-trol inetd[175]: /usr/etc/nntpd: exit status 1

I get the following message from rrn:

Unexpected response code from auto-trol news server: 0

From my *limited* understanding of the source inetd is not setting up the socket correctly.

My entry in the inetd.conf file is:
nntp    stream  tcp     wait    root    /usr/etc/nntpd          nntpd

If I use nowait I get the same results except there are no messages in the log.

I'm looking for suggestion on how to trouble shoot this problem.

Thanks
