inn-2.2.1/innd/inndstart.c:92 makes wrong assumption

The test

    } else if (pwd->pw_gid != Sb.st_gid) {
	syslog(L_FATAL, "inndstart %s must have group %s", innconf->pathrun, NEWSGRP);
	exit(1);

does not test that innconf->pathrun has group ownership NEWSGRP.

What it does test is, that the directory is owned by the default group of
user NEWSUSER, which may or may not be the group NEWSGRP.
