Thanks to those of you who offered suggestions.
There were two major problems. First, I missed the fact that there was a
"both" option to nntp_access. In the access file itself it is very clear
that "read implies xfer" :-).
Second, if you define DBZ and CNEWS but don't define DBM in conf.h you end
up with nntp trying to use the USGHIST option of creating a histfile. The
problem stems from some code in the server/misc.c gethistent routine that
checks to see if NDBM or DBM is defined and, if not, defines USGHIST. So,
I defined DBM and things seem to work.
