I am having trouble figuring out what I am doing wrong with my installation
of nntp.  I have a SparcStation 1+ running SunOS 4.1 with nntp version 
1.5.10.  The problem is that when an outside host tries to negotiate an 
"ihave" session with my sparc it is refused because "ihave attempted without 
permission"

I have checked the nntp_access file and it looks ok.  I looked at the 
nntp/server source code and things seem like they should work.  

Any suggestions?

Here is part of the cron output from one of the hosts trying to send to my
sparc (fieldofdreams).
