Cool, a problem I can help with! :) It does not matter what user you are when you start nntpcached, what matters is the user and group you set in nntpcache.config. 'chown -R' your cache directory to that user/group (probably "news") so it's writable by the child processes, and the permissions problems should go away. I hope this helps. -ljason
