Since it only seems to be me that's having troubles installing C news, can I
get some help?  Can someone who has installed (or is installing) C news on
a Sun 3/260 running SunOS 4.0 run script before they do the install, and mail
me a copy of the output?  I can compare that against what I'm doing and see
what's wrong...

The trouble that I'm having is that doit.bin fails because the 'bin' user
doesn't have permissions to write into the .../conf subdirectory (chmod 755
and owned by 'news').  Even if I add 'bin' to the 'news' group and change
the permissions to 775, I still have some troubles with who-owns-what further
on down the road.
