NNTP 1.5.11, Sun 3-80, SunOS 4.1 -- I built NNTP with POSTER defined as "news" and I run nntpd from inetd. The documentation says that nntpd will setuid() to news, but it's not happening. The incoming files get owned by user "nobody" (which indicates to me that this was an attempt by root to write files into an NFS-mounted directory). I really would like to write-protect that directory :-) Thanks for any advice you can give... -- Kenneth H. Cox Viewlogic Systems, Inc. kenc@viewlogic.com ..!{harvard,husc6}!viewlogic.com!kenc
