Here are the permissions in my working setup. I think I had problems
with article storage permissions way back when.

I also had to put this umask line in my ip-up script to get things
going, as I recall.
. . .
# last line
umask 022
# begin: SLRNPULL_WITH_PPP (automatically added by slrnconfig)
source /etc/slrnget.conf
if [ "$USE_SLRNPULL" = "y" -a "$SLRNPULL_WITH_PPP" = "y" ] ; then slrnpull -h `cat /etc/news/server` >/dev/null; fi
# end: SLRNPULL_WITH_PPP
