Hi all;
Iam running redhat 6.2.
The inn intall doc says to place the command;
su news -c /usr/local/news/bin/rc.news
in to the system boot script. The problem is the rc.news file is not
located there but in /etc/rc.d/rc.news and what/where is the system
boot script?
It also says that I can manually run innd by running rc.news, but when
I try to run it with...
./rc.news
While in its directory, it says there is no command. rc.news is owner
news, group news.
--Regards David. E. Goble

David, Changing the line to 'su news -c /etc/rc.d/rc.news' is fine - the system bootscript you want to put it in is most likely /etc/rc.d/rc.local - it really doesn't matter which of those files (/etc/rc.d) you choose as most of them are bootup scripts, however, I strongly recommend you use the rc.local as the others serve much more specific purposes. When you run the rc.news binary and receive the 'no command' error it is because the file is most likely pointing to an incorrect location of innd. Edit the rc.news file and set the line to the correct location of innd. -Adam "David. E.
