I trying to get cnews and rn set up on a Xenix 386 2.3.2 system.  I finally
got throught the "basic" cnews questions and have gotten everything to come
together.  I think.

The problem is when I try to post news   (right now the system has no news)
on a local group that I defined called "om.general", I get the following error.

Could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong here??


One other favor?

Has anyone been archiving the discussion about Cnews?  I was told before I
got this account that there was a lot of traffic about it.  Would anyone
out there be so kind as to send me a backlog?  Thanks.
