As a temporary solution I've changed the f_warn filter so that it doesn't 
include the facility news, but that is not really what I want. I'd like real 
warnings from news to be logged to warn. What I don't like is that nnrp logs 
these messages as warnings:

Nov 26 16:44:54 gunnar nnrpd[14701]: gunnar.home (127.0.0.2) connect
Nov 26 16:44:54 gunnar nnrpd[14701]: gunnar.home user gugrim
Nov 26 16:44:54 gunnar nnrpd[14701]: gunnar.home group doi.announce 0
Nov 26 16:45:00 gunnar nnrpd[14701]: gunnar.home group doi.help 0
Nov 26 16:45:00 gunnar nnrpd[14701]: gunnar.home times user 0.002 system
0.003 idle 0.002 elapsed 5.912

I think 'notice' is a more appropriate level for them, but perhaps that's not 
configurable.

Thanks anyway,
Gunnar
