FreeBSD 3.4, NNTPcache 2.4.0b3... Ran b2 a while back, and I seem to recall it working fine. So I install b3 today, and fire it up. It merrily merges in the active stuff from my backend newsservers, then tells me it's ready to rock. news 1573 0.0 0.2 132300 1280 ??

All the backend servers are up, telneting to them shows connections on the ports listed in nntpcache.servers... What am I missing here?
