  I have solved the problem for once and for all: I no longer run
  nnmaster, but depend on the much more standard NOV database.  I have
  also been one of the people encouraging the new maintainer of the
  code to expunge all the nnmaster cruft.  That will definitely fix
  nnmaster.

  After the make, did you remember to:

	Run ./inst <options> to install the files?
	Run ./inst INIT to initialize the database?

  Nnmaster mails error messages to the user who owns him (typically
  "news").  Check this mailbox for clues.

  If nnmaster -r or -D did not work, then neither did nnmaster -I (or
  ./inst INIT from the install directory).  Once you fix the
  permissions (see Paul's answer below), you need to rerun the
  initialization step.

  If nnmaster dies and updates the Log file with "Incomplete MASTER
  file", it could be you're not running the latest version.

  If, when you start your nnmaster, it just exits quietly, it could be
  that your permissions are incorrect.  Ensure that all directories in
  the nn library are owned by news (or the owner that you configured
  nn with).

  Make sure that there is a 'news' entry in passwd and group since
  nnmaster is run setuid/setgid to news and the files and directories
  that nnmaster needs to access are owned and writable by news. 

  Another problem could be in the way it is started.  Two related
  solutions are presented.

  /etc/rc exits before the child has had the chance to setpgrp().
  Putting "sleep 5" at the end of /etc/rc fixed it.

  Another similar solution involved inserting a "sleep 10" at the
  beginning of /etc/daemons/nnmaster.init file.

  It could be you're not running the latest version.
