I have installed netnews 2.11 with all three (and a half) patches.  I got the
latest(?) uuhosts (1.69) from mod.sources and installed that.  I ran
"uuhosts -setup" and got messages like the following:

I am running UTS SVR2 on an Amdahl.  /usr/lib/news/mapsh looks like:
-rwsr-x---   1 root     news       21036 Feb  7 12:06 /usr/lib/news/mapsh

My cron job runs:
> /usr/lbin/uuhosts -unbatch

Uuhosts is:
>-r-xr-xr-x   1 root     sys         5611 Feb  7 12:06 /usr/lbin/uuhosts

My /usr/spool/news/maps sub-tree looks like:
-rw-r--r--   1 news     news           0 Feb  7 16:40 /usr/spool/news/maps/DONE
-rw-r--r--   1 news     news           0 Feb  7 16:41 /usr/spool/news/maps/d.att
(a bunch of other 0-length files)

/usr/spool/news/maps/bin:
total 33

My sys entry (which doesn't really pertain to this problem, I guess) is:
maps:mod.map,world:F:/usr/spool/news/maps/mod.map/Batch

Can anyone explain why these two pieces of software don't seem to fit together
here?  Has anyone else seen this problem?  I have included all information I
thought might be important.
