- My uucp link is through an Amiga500(megalith) and I have manually-operating NeXTMail. My regular
- Internet node, a ND cube that is hardwired into the Internet (tigger) has a DecStation server that
- does not yield to my attempts to run uucp through it....yet. I have the opportunity to get "flat file"
- unix-script skimming of Usenet newsgroups from another node and I take my flat file and read it
- via NG72.3. Because my uucp is functional, I am actually able to "r" a given article in NG, and have
- my reply go via my uucp link automatically. But I am unable to post directly to the group or to add on to
- a given thread. Forgive my slightly convoluted statement of the problem I have, but here it is.
-
- I am using NG v 72.3 with the "flat-file" option and need to know where "inews" in supposed to
-
- reside. A friend from GUN told me that his inews was in either /usr/local/bin or /usr/bin, so I logged
- out to root and made the folder, inews, in /usr/local/bin and the owner was root-wheel. after going back to
-
- ordinary user level, I opened a shell, su'd to root, and cd'd to the location of the inews folder.
- I then did a "chmod 4755 inews" but discovered that I was still unable to post the group or
- to "Follow up". When I try to do so, I get the following message:
-
- Post failed: sh: /usr/local/bin/inews: cannot execute
-
- Have I f****d up my set uid root to the 'inews" folder, or am I missing something very obvious?
