All you need to do in this case is 'chown -R news:news
pathdb pathspool pathlog and pathoverview'.
} Now the server won't start. No clues in the log directory but
} /var/adm/messages shows:
} Jul 16 14:39:11 xxxxxx inndstart: can't setgroups: Not owner
} Jul 16 14:39:11 xxxxxx inndstart: seteuid(0) failed: Not owner
} All ownerships appear to be OK (i.e. news is owner of everything under /usr/local/news).
} Can anyone offer suggestions to help resolve this?
As to inndstart, it must be root:news. And startinnfeed
also needs to be fixed like such. There could be two other
program:inews or rnews. In any case;
# find /usr/local/news -perm -4000 -print'
may be your friend.
