It seems that inews generates an error "Directory permis- sion problem in /tmp.". /Tmp is, in fact, chmod'ed to 777 and chown'ed to "root", as are all good /tmps. Inews is, for debug- ging intentions, chmod'ed 4755 and chown'ed "root". (The same er- ror results when it's chown'ed to "news".) The program generating the error is ifuncs.c. This inews behavior exists after updating from 1.18 Venix/86 to 2.00 Venix/86 (both Unix ver. 7). Any help would be appreciated. Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
