Tin uses nntp even when my news spool is on a local drive. I don't
know if your version of 1.22 does this. Could you either please
make this not the default option or when you ask for the NNTPSERVER
also ask if news is on a local drive.

I'm using my own compiled inn 1.4 and my news spool is /var/spool/news
