iain@estevax.UUCP (Hr Iain Lea) (04/19/91)
We have installed B news 2.11 on a vax8550 running Ultrix 4.1
We have configured news to run from /news/spool /news/lib
and the binaries from /usr/bin
When our feed site (estevax.uucp in Erlangen, Germany) sends us
news it is immediately sent back.
We have the following alias setup for sendmail to use
rnews: "|/news/lib/uurec"
But when we run the sendmail program we get the results as shown below.
The Ultrix 4.1 is running C2 security. Could this be a problem?
The same test ran fine on Ultrix 3.1

The status 69 means 'resource unavailable' as defined in <sysexits.h>
I have included also our sys and seq files for info
sys file ( It is really on 1 line, just split it onto 2 for this)

Any help would be very welcome ASAP
Thanx
