/mit/sipb/sun4bin/inews is built to use /afs/sipb/project/rrn.
Someone needs to rebuild a new version of inews for the Sun, either
the C News version of inews or the INN version.

I attempted to post an article with world distribution to comp.unix.wizards
and received the following message just as I was sending it.

> Send, abort, edit, or list? send
> Can't get the name of the news server from /afs/sipb.mit.edu/project/rrn/etc/server.

What should I have NNTPSERVER set to?
