I have probably a simple problem, but cannot resolve.
When posting a message via rn to a message received in a packet,
I answer f or F and use vi to create the message, then when read
to send I type S for send, and it comes up with the following message:
inews: '/usr/bob/.signature" leff off (must be readable by "inews" owner)
...
What does this mean?  I have made sure that the file .signature in
/usr/bob has read privledges for all, chown to news, chgrp to news, etc
but nothing seems to make any difference.
What am I missing?  I am sure it is something small, but I have 
not found yet.
Thanks for your assistance.
