This is a *second* posting of this problem. No responses the first time around.

I have had a problem the last few weeks that is driving me nuts!
I get the following message randomly:

	There was a problem with /usr/lib/news/history!!
	Corrective action failed - check suid bits.

What happens is I chmod on history to -rw-rw-rw-.
It gets changed to -rw-r--r-- from something in the news software.
Then something in the news software complains that it connot write to the 
history file. How do I correct this?
