Well speaking as the most prolific poster to the *bsd lists (based on a quick survey done earlier), I can safely say that ash under FreeBSD works fine with trn's Pnews. :-) I've not personally tried it with INN, but I know folks who are using INN w/out bash, so it may be a Linux problem. >>And there was a big push a while back to replace bash with ash due >>to it's size.
