Somewhere along the line in my re-setting up of my linux box, I guess I am
missing something, for I cannot seem to manage to post news at all.
I just get the error:

newsspool: renouncing setuid due to nonstandard `NEWSPATH' in environment
newsspool: unable to create temporary `/var/spool/news/in.coming/nspool.a01020' (Permission denied)
/usr/lib/newsbin/inject/injnews: article in /home/fox/dead.article
/usr/bin/inews failed

Your response has been saved in ~/dead.letter

Your article/letter follows:

Any obvious thoughts as to what to check?

Ta,
