I can't remember the details, but I know at first I had a lot of trouble to get it to work. If I remember correctly, I, as root, deleted the /var/news/ directory because of trouble getting the correct permissions. Thereafter the slrnpull created the directory with the correct permissions.

slrnpull + trn?
Can anybody point me to some info on how to get trn to read from the news spool created by slrnpull? I thought trn was capable of reading from a local spool, but the documentation only seems to talk about reading from an NNTP server. Failing that, could anybody tell me how to get _any_ newsreader to read from an slrnpull spool? Including slrn? (I've tried both of the contradictory sets of instructions given in the documentation, but neither seem to work. Haven't had any luck with tin, either.) -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
