 To avoid the pre-version becoming permanent, I've put it in a temporary
 location. I will release a proper 1.6 by the end of the week if things
 go well. So please, try it out soon and give feedback here or to
 bugzilla.

You cannot use autoheader and autoconf from autoconf 2.13 any more:
/usr/bin/autoheader2.13: Symbol `PACKED' is not covered by
/usr/share/autoconf2.13/acconfig.h
/usr/bin/autoheader2.13: Symbol `nlink_t' is not covered by
/usr/share/autoconf2.13/acconfig.h

autoconf: Undefined macros:
configure.in:215:AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR([FAQ])
configure.in:820:AC_CONFIG_FILES([README doc/newsx.8 doc/newsq.1
doc/in.hosts.5 doc/newsx.conf.5 \
configure.in:824:AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS([default],[[ \

2.53 works. Could you please setup a correct AC_PREREQ(2.50) and
rename configure.in to configure.ac?

 What about:
 
   --with-hostconfig
 
 And for newsx:
 
   --hostconfig

I'd like to put the default profile (newsx.conf) in there, too.

 At least for this release, I think it should default to the inhosts
 setting.

Absolutely, this is post-1.6 material.

 For one, I am not 100% certain where FHS really wants us to
 place this.

I am quite sure it should go to /etc, it clearly is a configuation
file.

 Also, I am not really sure how good it is in connection with
 newsx.conf. What if someone uses the hostname newsx? 

Crash! :-( renaming the default.profile to /etc/newsx/config.default
or similar might help.

 I've prepared this in:
   
   http://home.powertech.no/egilkv/newsx-1.6pre.tar.gz
   
 Nice if someone could check how it works out, and report.

I've downloaded it already and am in the process of packagaing (for
private testing not for upload.)
