Faulkner) Subject: Inn, Rnews, and UUCP Originator: boyd@pal411.austin.ibm.com Message-ID: <CAsByz.3Eo2@austin.ibm.com> Sender: boyd@austin.ibm.com () Date: Mon, 26 Jul 1993 18:42:35 GMT Reply-To: boyd@austin.ibm.com Organization: IBM Austin Keywords: inn, rnews, uucp Lines: 14 I am running the inn news system and get my newsfeed via uucp. I am having problems with permissions. I am running the BIDIR stuff and so want to receive calls and let uucp call out. If uucp owns the uucp stuff, then uucp can call out but when uux runs, it dies complaining that rnews cannot be setgid to whatever group I have it set to. Conversely, if root owns the uucp stuff, uucico can't call out and complains of a hangup signal. So... What are the permissions and ownerships of rnews and uux supposed to be? Thanks, Boyd
