Leave that in place. Always.

And hope these won't clash in the future :-)

No need, fetchnews has a port = 12546 argument, as shown.

Won't work, both are nntp2. Either should be nntp3.

Waugh. Makes me barf. I'll check if SuSE's glibc 2.2.4 also misbehaves
like Mandrake's.

Hum, make clean should be fine, but to be sure, remove config.c and
