A few suggested rules for netnews administrators:

1) If you're running news version 2.10.1, make sure you have a version with
the line-eater bug fixed.  (If you're running the one from the 4.2BSD
distribution, you don't have a version with the bug fixed.)  If you aren't
sure, ask your feed for help.

2) If you're feeding any sites, make sure they are running a version with
the bug fixed.  If you're running a later version than they are, and your
version has it fixed (which, of course, it does, since you've already
followed rule 1), get them to install that version.

3) If you're going to feed a new site, give them your current version (which
doesn't have the bug, since you've already followed rule 1).  If they're
getting their news from any other source, make *sure* it has the bug fixed;
if they're running 4.2BSD, make *VERY SURE* they don't run the version that
came with 4.2BSD.
