Interesting. What does syslog have to say about who nntpcache thinks is connecting? I suspect your 127.0.0.1 reverse lookup is ending up with something like "localhost.my.domain.com" -- "Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies, The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S.
