Hello all, I am finally getting around to working on a couple of log errors that repeatedly occur in my cron.hourly and cron.daily checks. These may seem like newbie questions, but I can't figure out why I am getting permission problems when trying to access the following files: cron.hourly errors: touch: /var/log/news/nntpsend.log: Permission denied chmod: /var/log/news/nntpsend.log: Permission denied /usr/bin/nntpsend: /var/log/news/nntpsend.log: Permission denied cron.daily errors: DB2 problem...: missing or empty key value specified /usr/bin/news.daily: /var/lib/news/.news.daily: Permission denied Reading active file failed, exiting (see syslog for more information). Has fetchnews been run? These errors may seem trivial, but I would sure like to figure them out. I'll keep digging, but if someone has a quick bit of advise, I would appreciate the help.
