Before I report this as a bug, I thought I'd check others' experience. Whenever apt-get (or formerly dpkg) upgrades inn, I find that permissions in /var/lib/news and sometimes /var/log/news are changed. Some of the files are now owned by root, rather than news, meaning innd running as news can't write to them and exits.
Anyone else seeing this? -- Carl Fink [EMAIL PROTECTED] I-Con's Science and Technology Guest of Honor in 2000 will be Geoffrey A. Landis. See <http://www.iconsf.org> for I-Con information.
