In the meanwhile I changed that line to the correct path to
whoami, re-compiled, re-installed and - lo and behold - INND
actually started with the default configuration. I went on to
copy all the .OLD configuration files over the corresponding
new ones, tried again, got the same error as before.
Thus, by now the problem has been isolated to the configuration
files. All I have to do is revert to default and then try my
settings file by file until I find the offending one, and then
in it setting by setting until I find the offending one. Swell
pasttime, but by now I'm prepared to do much worse than that to
get it working.
Thanks a lot for your help. And BTW, it still only works with
su - news -c /us/loca/news/bin/rc.news
but not with
su - news -c ./rc.news
or
su news -c [path or not]rc.news
I guess that's a later issue :)
