Summary: 

Here's a hint if your "inews" doesn't seem to be appending your
".signature" file to your postings:

"inews" runs setuid to news.  If your home directory is such
that user "news" (or whatever on your system) cannot get into
your home directory to read the .signature file, then it won't
get added to the posting.

A few of our users ran into this recently....
