Graet :) Talking about the RedHat inn-1.4unoff4, I just installed it
today, and noticed some little annoying problems.
/usr/lib/news/bin/sendbatch has still the error I reported sopme time
ago. The line:
COMPFLAGS=
COMPRESS=/usr/ucb/compress should be replaced with
COMPFLAGS=" -9 "
COMPRESS=/bin/gzip
I always had to change this. Quite of annoying but it works ;) after
changing it.
Well, just wanted to notice it :)
