Has anyone ported xvnews to *BSD? I took and older xvnews I had once running under 386bsd-0.1.2.4 to FreeBSD and it bombs with segmentation violation.
Interesting point: It only bombs when the environment variable OPENWINHOME
is set to something (/usr/X386 or even blank).

A side question not having to to with *BSD: Can anyone give me a hint how
to configure a newsserver/newsreader to allow to read and/ create local
usergroups (that is, groups that are not exported to the world). Please email.
