I entered into a discussion with this gentleman via email because I
had just successfully compiled and installed on nearly identical
platform (Sun Solaris). I provided him with four of my files from my
/usr/local/news/etc directory and suggested a ./configure addition I
think. This was at his request. 

I later sent an email asking if it was working or did he need more
assistance but have not received any response from him after sending
my .conf files a week or so ago. *Shrug*
