unisrc@cdstar.UUCP (UNISOURCE MAIL DIR) (09/16/85)
In re-implementing news programs on an IBM-XT, I've ex-
perienced a problem which I hope to elicit some ideas on through
this request.
It seems that inews generates an error "Directory permis-
sion problem in /tmp.". /Tmp is, in fact, chmod'ed to 777 and
chown'ed to "root", as are all good /tmps. Inews is, for debug-
ging intentions, chmod'ed 4755 and chown'ed "root". (The same er-
ror results when it's chown'ed to "news".) The program generating
the error is ifuncs.c.
This inews behavior exists after updating from 1.18
Venix/86 to 2.00 Venix/86 (both Unix ver. 7).
Any help would be appreciated.
