Hrm. Stuff like this was why I gave up on INN2 and fell back to
INN. 8^/=
The shadow password thing shouldn't matter, I wouldn't think -- I use
shadow passwords too. If you need to authenticate yourself to the news
server, _that_ might matter...
As far as logging the chat between your system and theirs, have a look
at the contents of /var/log/news/.
HTH,

PS: If it's any motivation, once the system is set-up, it's _very_
nice -- news is *fast*; no more waiting for the modem to pull down the
next article...
