Running the nntp stuff that came with BSDI/OS 2.1 after config and
startup
straight out of the box I get the following message:

"Jan  8 08:39:00 news innd: ME cant exec in /var/spool/news/archive No
such file or directory"

So finding no docs on the archive file/directory I added it and set
ownership
with read/wright to news (innd runs under uid news)

So now that error is gone, but instead I get:
"Feb  5 10:15:08 news innd: ME cant exec in /var/spool/news/archive
Permission denied"

On a similar note, I get *tons* of disk errors on my daily reports. 
I've tried different
disks, scsi controllers and cables all with the sames results
(termination is correct)
Anyone else having all these problems running a news server on BSDI/OS
and have any
suggestions?

Thanks in advance!
