C-news is running on our microVAX II with Ultrix 3.1B.
There are some minor problems (archiving and checkgroups) that
seem to be permission-related. I want to do a "textbook" re-
install of the news software. C-news assumes software and system
bin directories are owned by (bin,bin). In Ultrix 3.1 such
directories are owned by (root,system). The install script
doit.bin fails.
What does the Net recommend? I see at least three alternatives:
- Change owner of /bin, /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin to (bin,bin)
- Let root own the software; run all makes as root
- Install manually (want approved textbook method)
How have other administrators installed C-news on Ultrix?
