What am I missing? When I execute 'postnews' I consistantly get the error message 'relaynews: can't creat lock temporary .../TM...' for a file in the news subdirectory. Have I forgot to set some permisions properly? Thank you. -- Mike Mitchell BELL H (505) 471-7639 W (505) 473-4482 2020 Calle Lorca #43 ARPA mdm@cocktrice.UUCP Santa Fe, NM 87505 UUCP ...!uunet!dmk3b1!cocktrice!mdm

I had the same problem a while back. Try checking your NEWSBIN/bin/config file to make sure that the environment variables there match the compiled in values. If not, a call to unpriviledged() is made in relaynews. ---Kayvan -- Kayvan Sylvan @ Transact Software, Inc. -*- Mountain View, CA (415) 961-6112 Internet: kayvan@Transact.COM -*- UUCP: ...!{apple,pyramid,mips}!mrspoc!kayvan
