Greetings! I am sorry, but I have a small bug to report.
I am sending a Cc: to Gary Clark, as he is the pal that installed
FreeBSD on my machine, and is helping me get it going.

I ran into this installing cnews-cr.e on FreeBSD 2.05 release.

I was getting cron mail that sendbatches: spacefor: dospacefor no such
file or directory. Here is what caused it:

In /usr/local/libexec/news/spacefor there is a case statement, and one of
the lines has outbound) on it. This line has:
  . . .   arg="/usr/spool/uucp"; . . .

and it should be:
  . . .   arg="/var/spool/uucp"; . . .

This is the only line in the file that does not use a variable from
/usr/local/lib/news/bin/config to handle the pathing.

Sliante!
