Sorry if this has already been addressed, but I've been off the
net for 5 weeks and wasn't working on C news before.
The C news version of inews looks in the file $NEWCTL/server
for the name of the server machine. If the running machine
is not the server, relaynews is run remotely using a command
like:
rsh $server PATH=$PATH relaynews ...
This doesn't work for me, as I use csh, which doesn't take the
PATH=$PATH syntax. In addition, this won't work for users here that
will not have accounts on our news server machine.
Is there a fix (preferably not involving nntp) for this? For now,
I'm hardcoding the path of relaynews in the rsh command.

Is there a fix... The 14-Sep-1989 patch incorporated significant revisions in inews's rsh handling, which fixed this one. -- A bit of tolerance is worth a | Henry Spencer at U of Toronto Zoology megabyte of flaming. | uunet!attcan!utzoo!henry henry@zoo.toronto.edu
