        I'm trying to set up a small news spool for myself.  I'm using
INN1.4 and Suck 3.3.1(?).  When I run the suck program, it acts like it is
bringing in articles, but nothing ever appears in the spool.  I've checked
my logs and I'm getting the following errors:

ME cant write comp/os/linux/setup/494  no such file or dir

ME cant fopen /var/lib/news/history  Permission Denied


        The first error I believe has to do with improperly set up
directories.  I dont know exactly where this dir should be.  I've tried
putting it under /var/spool/news/in.coming/   but it doesnt work there either.

        The second error I dont have a clue about.  I ran the makehistory
program, and the permissions on the history file (0 bytes??) are set to
news.  I've also tried copying the history.n.pag and history.n.dir file to
this file, and nothing seems to work...

Thank you for any advice you could give me!


Thanks

Craig
