I'm posting the following on behalf of a new DECUS uucp user.  
I note that 184EC is an RMS code for ~"can't add record, duplicate key, 
DUP not set" (the last bit meaning that duplicate key values aren't allowed).
Any ideas?

Subject: NEWS 5.8 problem

I am in the early stages of bringing up DECUS UUCP 1.1 and ANU NEWS 5.8.
Everything seems to work, except that I am having a problem POSTing news.

The symptoms I am experiencing are:

I can POST to local newsgroups fine, but when I try to Post to a sci. group,
for example, I get the message:
Error: Post - (sci.physics) Cannot add to Newsitem index file (B00184EC)

In mucking around in the source, it _looks_ like I didn't do the install
properly to give NEWS.EXE the necessary SYSPRV, but I re-did the install and 
that didn't help.  I even get the error message when trying to POST from the
SYSTEM account.

I have re-checked the ownership and protections on the various files, but
I am not having any luck spotting the problem.

Any suggestions?
