Hi,

I've got FreeBSD-2.1.0-RELEASE installed on 2 machines, one running
as news server.
On the other machine I can read news without problems, appart
from screen refreshes on xterm which do not seem to work sometimes,
but I can't post. The error I get is:

.: Can't open /usr/local/lib/news/bin/config
/usr/local/lib/news/inews failed

On a third machine with inn installed I CAN post to the news server.
Don't tell me I need inn installed on a machine that doesn't get a
newsfeed, that would be ridiculous, especially since a Linux machine
on the same net CAN post to the news server.

Does anybody know of this problem?

Jos
