Message-ID: <149@simon_pc.UUCP> Date: Fri, 28-Feb-86 22:36:36 EST Article-I.D.: simon_pc.149 Posted: Fri Feb 28 22:36:36 1986 Date-Received: Sun, 2-Mar-86 07:36:27 EST Organization: S*H & Company, Walnut Creek, California Lines: 13 Keywords: /etc/chown is wrong for SV... Xref: watmath net.bugs:745 net.news.b:1305 net.news.adm:536 net.news:4647 I do not know which of these groups is the right one but I think some people will benefit from this: The trimlib shell script I received with netnews 2.10.3 ends with '/etc/chown...'. For System V machines this will result in failure since the chown is in /bin, not /etc/ Also, could someone explain to me what it actually does. The version I have rotates news -> news.1, news.1 -> news.2 ... Nothing there seems to trim log or history. Do I have a censored copy? Thanks everyone. This net is really fun! Simon.
