no permission for rnews
Hi all,
finally got exim up and running with uucp. Everything seemed to work: I
received email, even could send it.
But when I got news via uucp, the uupoll gave me error-messages and sent
the following emails to root:
------------------------------ schnipp -------------------------------

Message from UUCP on ntrulez Thu Feb 4 20:01:06 1999
Your execution request failed because you are not permitted to execute
rnews
on this system.
Execution requested was:
rnews
------------------------------ schnapp -------------------------------
What's wrong? I did uupoll as root, don't understand this. Could someone
please tell me which commands to "man" and/or to issue? Do I need
additional software, besides UUCP, exim (kind of sendmail), procmail and
pine?
Another mail was sent to root:
------------------------------ schnipp -------------------------------
A UUCP execution request failed:
rnews
The request was made by
downtown!news
The following files have been saved:
/var/spool/uucp/.Failed/downtown/X./X.downtowdcc58
/var/spool/uucp/.Failed/downtown/D./D.downtowdcc58
------------------------------ schnapp -------------------------------
So the good thing is: the news are saved, but how do I get them back?
Which command do I need to run in order to re-try and deliver the news?
Thanks for your help and kind regards
Frederick
