We have our single /usr/spool/news and /usr/local/lib/news shared by
all our suns via nfs mounting. This works perfectly when reading news.

If you run postnews from a subsidary machine, it complains that the
machine I am posting from is not in the sys file and it tries to run
uux to post stuff. I think it may even get posted, but it complains
alot.

Of course if I postnews on the main machine that communicates to
usenet, postnews works fine.

What is the correct way to handle this situation?
I am running postnews *SccsId = "@(#)postnews.c       1.37    1/15/89"
