  Yes, fetchnews.  Actually, I'd like to be able to run fetchnews as a 
regular user (it's getting annoying to have to su just to run it, and I 
need to run it manually because I have dial-up access thanks to my 
rather remote location).  So can I suid it, or would that be a Really 
Bad Thing (tm)?

  Not quite *that* easy, I'm afraid.  Neither server will allow me to 
access until I'm dialed into their machine directly.  I have both 
servers in with username and password, but it only actually *works* for 
whichever service I'm dialed into at the time.

  No, I'm not waving any flags at this point.  I want to be much more 
certain that there is a problem before I get all excited.  8-)
