I set up news on a neighbor system (pbisd), and I verified that I could postnews locally. However, when my system (toto) tries to deliver news to pbisd, I get this failure message back: ---------- Date: 14 Sep 89 04:22:12 PDT (Thu) From: Utoto@pbisd.cts.com (toto UUCP) To: toto!toto!root Status: O remote execution [uucp job pbisdN3352 (9/14-4:22:10)] rnews exited with status 1 ===== stderr was ===== inews: Can't lock /usr/lib/news/active: Permission denied ---------- I've verified read and write permissions for /usr/lib/news, and the file 'active' in this directory. Please e-mail any clues. -- Bill Cerny "The cost of living just went up another $1 a fifth." bill@toto.cts.com - W. C. Fields
