I just installed cnews and I am getting the following error message
right after I poll my news feed:

newsspool failed!!!
/usr/lib/newsbin/input/newsrun: /usr/lib/news/L.13680: cannot create

I elected during the build of cnews to have news spooled immediately.
The $binuid is news, /usr/lib/news is owned by news, and I don't
believe newsrun has to be suid news, does it?
My answer to "build"'s set(g)uid() question was yes, my system can do
the setuid system call; I'm running ISC 2.2.1 here.

I'd appreciate any help; please use mail as my news for incoming
articles is broken.
