hum..suck sounds as a nice command to use.
where's that to find?

oops, jep that's wrong, why did you go on??
use inn1.4unoff4

ftp ../site/the_configfiles out >>>
change them

cd .../site ; make install

ftp /usr/local/news/lib/active in <<<
ftp /usr/local/news/lib/active.times in <<<

-maybe you need some changes...i messed around a bit on ftp-in.

cd /usr/local/news/lib/
chown news:news active
chown news:news active.times
cp active.times active.old
chown news:news active.old

my next step is:

/usr/local/news/bin/makehistory
cd /usr/local/news/lib/
mv history.n.dir history.dir
mv history.n.pag history.pag

this should get the ME... out of your way.

btw: my INN doesn't feed posted articles upstream, anyone??
