Do you mean that no nntpd processes are running?  Have you checked the 
syslog output to see if there are any errors reported?

Keep in mind that the -f option to nntpd only allows articles to be fed 
via the IHAVE command.  A newsreading client will not be able to read 
articles.  If you're trying to read and feed on port 119, then remove 
the -f option.
