Yes there are.  If you define the logical NEWS_NNTP_LOG (/SYS/EXEC) to
point to a file, the NNTP server will log each connection to your
system in that file. You may need to make a slight fix to the nntp
server get this to work. If nothing shows up in the file, you need to
modify close_net in NNTP_TCPWINMULTINET.C as follows:

close_net()
{
#ifdef DEBUG
    fprintf(stderr,"Close_net\n");
#endif
    log_to_file(1);     /* make sure the log file gets updated RRS */
    sys$cancel(f_i);
    sys$cancel(f_o);
}

The syntax of the NNTP_XMIT command is:

$ NNTP_XMIT system proto id_file log_file debug_file

The file specified in the fourth argument will have a record of each
attempt to contact your feed system. If you are using the CLI command
structure, there is a /LOGFILE= qualifier.
