I think except for in.hosts/spoolname.conf newsx is basically FHS clean: /usr/bin/newsq /usr/lib/news/bin/newsx.real /usr/lib/news/bin/newsx /usr/share/man/man8/newsx.8.gz /usr/share/man/man1/newsq.1.gz /usr/share/man/man5/in.hosts.5.gz /usr/share/man/man5/newsx.conf.5.gz /var/spool/news/in.hosts /etc/newsx.conf >> Imho these are configuration files and should be >> placed in /etc/ > You can always place them where you want using --with-inhosts, can't > you? This would move not only the configuration files spoolname.conf but also spoolname and spoolname.old to /etc/, wouldn't it? cu andreas -- "See, I told you they'd listen to Reason," [SPOILER] Svfurl fnlf, fuhggvat qbja gur juveyvat tha.
