Problem with inews

[Michael Stassen]

I've installed INN 2.2.3 on a Sun running Solaris 5.7 to serve a few local
newsgroups (i.e. no external feed).  Everything seems fine, except that I
can't post using inews (which I need for mailpost).  I get 

    Can't get list of newsgroups, Permission denied.

if I run inews as anybody other than news.  I didn't have this problem on
a similarly configured copy of INN 2.2.1.  

Under the option --enable-setgid-inews in INSTALL, it says "INN's inews
can post fine via a network connection to your running news server and
doesn't need to use the local socket (which is what setgid enables it to
do)."  Apparently, that isn't happening.  

Can anyone tell me what I've missed, or where to look?
