> Oh? Where is there an INN package in /redhat? I can't find it...
Hrm. I initially thought inews-1.4unoff4-2.i386.rpm was it (because
"unoff4" is the name of an INN semi-release), but it's only 21K, so
presumably it's just inews from INN 1.4unoff4, and not INN itself.
So maybe a lot of people are installing off CD, or something. I'm
officially cnofused again.
> You are correct -- the proper fix is to make "news" be a local alias.
Strictly speaking, a "news" local alias has the problem that if users
actually want to send mail to "news", it should probably go to
usenet@mit.edu. But this ia a marginal cost to solve the problem at h
and.
