+I determined that the issue was not the server, but the TIN client configuration.  After setting the NNTPSERVER env to 'local' host and using rtin instead of tin, everything worked fine.
+Configured 'local.sluug.discuss' and posted a test message.  Posted good and read with rtin.
+I configured my remote client on my PC to point to port 119 on bud.sluug.org and it appears that the external port may be blocked.  I did an ssh to tunnel to localhost:119 and everything works great!
+So now we need a news feed.. :)
+/24/2013
+Continued to work on basic configuration.
+In particular the readers.conf file to allow only authorized users to access the server.
+.)  configured the /etc/news/readers.conf file.  See contents for changes.
+.)  created a newsusers file (see /etc/news/readers.com) for location.
+.)  Prepared a script in my bin directory to add entries (users:password) to the newsusers file.
+.)  Ran a test from home using forte agent. All post/read/overview features work great!
+.)  Uploaded a binary image (Apple.png) - all worked great up, retrieved and the image looked great.
+.)  Tried invalid passwords, blocked as expected.
+Created new groups with:
+root@bud:~
+# /usr/lib/news/bin/ctlinnd newgroup local.sluug.discuss
+# /usr/lib/news/bin/ctlinnd newgroup local.sluug.steercom
+# /usr/lib/news/bin/ctlinnd newgroup local.sluug.sysadmin
+edit /var/lib/news/newsgroups to add descriptions.
+Did a connect via rtin and agent.  Look good.
+Ready for users to connect.
+Suck is available via zyypr, installed and did a quick check.  (see log)
+Looks like we need a newserver!  Need to talk with steercom on this. We are going to need a generic email to get a free feed for 30days.
+TODO:
+  - Configure SLUUG remaing groups
+  - Look into 'suck' for downloading news groups
   - Test configuration
-  - Open Alpha test program
+  - Open Alpha test program for sluug groups
   - Determine best fit for news-feed
   - Determine subscriptions and DASD requirements

 There is the possibility that INN is overkill for our needs.  During the build out we should look for alternatives that may be lighter wieght.
