( FreeBSD 2.1 ) Add 'secure' to the end of the line that you want to allow telneting to in /etc/ttys. Then kill -HUP 1. Note: this is a bad idea. You loose a lot of security and logging trails. > Are there any documents relating to the configuration of cnews ? Sure, with the cnews package. Also in the O'Reilly books, Using UUCP and USENET and Managing UUCP and USENET. But, Cnews is a very old package now. You'll find INN to be a better system to use. -- "Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend: and inside a dog, it's too dark to read." -- Groucho Marx
