I occasionally get a piece of mail to the user "news" from the cron daemon, complaining something like /usr/spool/news/comp/unix/questions: Now Owner. (where comp.unix.questions could be any newsgroup, not just that one, not just comp.*) Every time, I check out the group in question and find that it is indeed owned by news, group news, with appropriate permissions, no different than the hundreds of other news group directories in the news spool area, yet I got that error. Okay, does anyone know what this means and why I'm getting it? This is News 2.11 B patchlevel 8 on SCO Xenix 286 v2.2.1 Thanks! -- Jay Libove ARPA: jl42@andrew.cmu.edu or libove@cs.cmu.edu 5731 Centre Ave, Apt 3 BITnet: jl42@andrew or jl42@drycas Pittsburgh, PA 15206 UUCP: uunet!nfsun!libove!libove or (412) 362-8983 UUCP: psuvax1!pitt!darth!libove!libove

I get the same message, although I am running up to patchlevel 14 on
SCO Xenix 386 v2.2.6
