I do not know which of these groups is the right one but I think some
people will benefit from this:

The trimlib shell script I received with netnews 2.10.3 ends with
'/etc/chown...'.  For System V machines this will result in failure
since the chown is in /bin, not /etc/ 
Also, could someone explain to me what it actually does.  The version I
have rotates news -> news.1, news.1 -> news.2 ...  Nothing there seems
to trim log or history.  Do I have a censored copy?

Thanks everyone.  This net is really fun!

Simon.

I assumed that the author of trimlib had modified news so that it kept its
log in a file called news not log.  I modified my version of trimlib to rotate
log instead of news and everything seems to be working just fine.
