Heck, I don't know!

However...
This might help:

grep is a wonderful tool. You might want to grep around your /etc/
directory for NNTP. Something as simple as 'grep NNTP *' or 'grep
nntp *' might help you out.

rgrep is another terrific tool. In a nutshell it's recursive grep.
Basically, it will also search through sub directories.

Doing an "rgrep nntp *" from my /etc/ directory returned:

services:nntp 119/tcp readnews untp

So, basically editing the /etc/services file and commenting out the
nntp line should disable nntp on port 119 (please correct me of I am
wront on this).

Another place to search would be your /etc/init.d/ directory. I am
much more familiar with bsd systems that SysV, but I am pretty sure
most of the start-up scripts are in this directory. Perhaps a little
grepping around will find the program you are looking for.

Hope this helps.
