I seem to have a problem with my news 2.11 software. I cannot locally
create a newgroup. If an external control message from the net
creates a newgroup it works fine. The command I use to create a new
group is:
/usr/lib/news/inews -C rec.music.beatles < /dev/null
My terminal screen responds after a moment with:
///usr/lib/news/inews -n c.ctl -c newgroup -d local -a "usenet@grc.UUCP
and then returns to the prompt.
The log file however says:
Oct 9 13:24 local Unrecognized control message - n
As far as I can tell, all access permissions are correct on all files.
Yes, inews is suid, sgid to the news administrator.
Can anyone out there give me a clue as to what the problem might be?
Thanks in advance to those who reply.
Don
