My uucp link is through an Amiga500(megalith) and I have manually-operating NeXTMail.  My regular
Internet node, a ND cube that is hardwired into the Internet (tigger) has a DecStation server that
does not yield to my attempts to run uucp through it....yet.    I have the opportunity to get "flat file"
unix-script skimming of Usenet newsgroups from another node and I take my flat file and read it
via NG72.3.  Because my uucp is functional, I am actually able to "r" a given article in NG, and have
my reply go via my uucp link automatically.  But I am unable to post directly to the group or to add on to
a given thread.   Forgive my slightly convoluted statement of the problem I have, but here it is.

I am using NG v 72.3 with the "flat-file" option and need to know where "inews" in supposed to 

reside.  A friend from GUN told me that his inews was in either /usr/local/bin  or /usr/bin, so I logged
out to root and made the folder, inews, in /usr/local/bin and the owner was root-wheel.  after going back to 

ordinary user level, I opened a shell, su'd to root, and cd'd to the location of the inews folder.
I then did a "chmod 4755 inews" but discovered that  I was still unable to post the group or
to "Follow up".    When I try to do so, I get the following message:

       Post failed: sh: /usr/local/bin/inews: cannot execute

Have I f****d up my set uid root to the 'inews" folder, or am I missing something very obvious?
