Re: [leafnode-list] Difficulty posting.

[Doug Laidlaw <laidlaws@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Problem solved (I think.)  Permissions are O.K. 

I was queuing messages instead of sending them.  This is what I did before 
leafnode, since I don't have a permanent Internet connection.  It suddenly 
"clicked" that I had to send them to the leafnode server, not to the 
"upstream" news server.  I used "send" on a test message and it went straight 
to /var/spool/news/out.going/ .   The next step is to see if it actually 
goes, but there seems to be no reason why not.

BTW, this is the first time that I have struck the "s" permission.  The chmod 
command doesn't recognize it.
