Just installed nntp 1.5.10, and ran into the following problem:
When I give the server the "post" command, it responds well,
and accepts the article well, however, immediately after the period
is entered ending the article, it replies with:

setgroups: not owner

But curiously enough, it later responds with the successful posting
response, and the article does indeed make it into the spooling directories
and database.

My nntpd is running perms 4711, so it creates incoming batches owned by
news.  This arrangement worked without problems using 1.5.8, if this is
the culprit.  What's really puzzling me is that none of the C-news or
NNTP source files have any mention of "setgroups" in them.

Any ideas?  Thanks...
