I'm surprised that you mentions this, because (at least with
leafnode-2.0.0.alpha20040122a) directory and file permissions on the
spool do not allow this (unless the news reader program runs suid
'news'):

$ ll /var/spool/news/de/comp/os/unix/linux/misc/289496
-rw-------    2 news     news         1925 Mar 24 18:12 [...]

How about making the umask configurable?

Bye, Reiner.
