Three quick notes--

1) Umask defaults to 000 when running an xterm or gnome-terminal on redhat
6.0, unless you run a login shell. This is a Bad Thing.

2) The binary package for the inews-2.2.1-1 update released 9/1/99 isn't
on the redhat updates site; inn and inn-devel are insufficient. I had to
compile the SRPM.

3) Nothing. There is no third note.
