Just spent about 4 hours trying to figure that out too. I had localhost in
/etc/news/hosts.nntp.nolimit which is supposed to give localhost access. But
is doesn't. I had to add localhost to /etc/news/hosts.nntp in order to make
it work.
I'm sure somebody allready filed a bug report on that. (I'll check later)
