Hello, all I'm a new ANU-NEWS user and I'm setting up ANU-news for our system. News is working proper and fine, but there is still a problem left: it is impossible for an unprivileged user to post (or followup) a newsitem to a newsgroup. This ends up in the error message: error: Post - No Authorized Newsgroup specified. The newsgroup, to which is posted, is NOT restricted, NOT moderated, and it is local. All NEWS directories (top-down) are world Read Write Executable (during testing). The only users who can post now, are those holding the NWSMGR identifier. Users without NWSMGR id, but with more privileges, such as SYSPRV, neither can post items to the group. We have setup ANU-news in a DECnet environment, with some VMS systems and a Unix system, in which the Unix system feeds news into a VAX/VMS running ANU-news. We are running ANU-NEWS V5.6 (and hope to upgrade soon to V5.8/V5.9) Any suggestions, any help? Is there a list of NEWS error messages available with possible solutions?
