Remember that you should always login as the news user
when you do mantainance jobs on INN.

INND is to be started by the news account and if the
articles directory is not owned by news you will get
a bunch of "permission" problems.

Of course. Some time ago I had the same problem
and, (in Solaris 2.6) used CHGRP (change group)
and CHOWN (change owner). However, in Solaris you
can do all in one like this:
	1 - chdir to ~news/spool/articles
	2 - chown -R news:news *

PS: with SuperUser account

If you have a full feed, it will take you some time.
