I`m getting the following error messages in /var/log/news/news.err when I try to restart Innd Feb 24 17:03:13 smalltown inndstart: inndstart cant setgroups Operation not permitted Feb 24 17:03:13 smalltown inndstart: inndstart cant bind Permission denied This happens when I run rc.news as root or as news. Inncheck is as follows: $ /usr/lib/news/bin/inncheck /etc/news/inn.conf:16: ends with whitespace /etc/news/inn.conf:20: ends with whitespace /etc/news/inn.conf:111: ends with whitespace $ /usr/lib/news/bin/inncheck -perms /usr/lib/news/bin/inews:0: missing /usr/lib/news/bin/rnews:0: missing /usr/lib/news/bin/tally.unwanted:0: missing /usr/lib/news/bin/control/docheckgroups:0: missing Everything worked before I changed ISPs and altered inn.conf, even with the inncheck messages above. As a start could someone tell me the proper way to start and stop innd because I`ve had nothing but trouble with it and the manual pages and online FAQs are a bloody nightmare. Thanks for listening to my ramblings. Paul -- Paul Walton * Powered by * Cambridge * Debian GNU Linux * U.K. * http://www.debian.org * * PGP Public Key: http://pgp5.ai.mit.edu/ *
