Sure? As root?

Quoted from ~/doc/INSTALL

Starting and Stopping the System

    INN is started via the shell script rc.news.  This must be run as the
    news user and not as root.  To start INN on system boot, you therefore
    want to put something like:

        su - news -c /usr/local/news/bin/rc.news
_ _ _

(around line 1400)

Looks like it should rather be started as the news user.
