Okay, either I'm doing something *really* wrong or the news port is hosed up (I suspect the former). I have been trying in vain to install the news port from the main Makefile. Making the executables worked, but I am stuck on doing the `make install' phase. First it bombed on the first place it tried to do `su -m bin'; csh returned a "permission denied" as it tried to cd to the ports directory, which was originally set to all be owned by root/wheel. I am running the make as root. By changing the ownership to root/bin (probably a no-no) it got past that point. Now it bombs with the same error on trying to do `su -m news' (for "relay"). What ownerships are supposed to be in the ports heirarchy and the various system accounts? --- /etc/passwd bin:*:3:7:Binaries Commands and Source,,,:/: news:*:8:8:News Subsystem:/: -Dave Babler
