FBSD doesn't support the -c flag (execute command) for su :-( (BTW, the 4.4BSD manuals too don't allow this flag :-( again :-) Is there any cute way to avoid su'ing to bin/news and doing the work by hand (the line above calls a plethora of subdirs and other makefiles - something I wouldn't like to do if not absolutely necessary).
