A question I am having problems starting up the INN product that is
distributed with thew BSDI 2.0.1 CDROM, I have configed all the files
that were stated in the Lizard book, as well as run inncheck, so that I
recieve no errors.  BUT when I go to start innd, with the line
/var/news/etc/rc.news it craps out and sends this message to the console
"innd:  ME dbminit /var/news/etc/history file or directory not found."
or something to that effect.

Any help would be much appreciated.
