Well, i'd like to know if on other's systems the following happens.
Go posting news (postnews).
From your editor escape out on shell.
check out your ids. On altos you are "news".
This means you can go inside /usr/lib/news (or whatever) and
modify the whole configuration.

Is this  an abnormal news setup or is it common?
