I believe the build below was previously working for one of our users on FreeBSD 5.2.

I have just tested this with my own FreeBSD 5.2.1 system and it does appear not to be working with that version.
You can use the FreeBSD 4 build from the ports collection if you have binary compatibility installed. If not, let me know and I'll do a build on FreeBSD 5.2.1 to see if that works. The existing FreeBSD 5 builds were done on the FreeBSD 5.1 system we have in the office.

I tried both of the FreeBSD 5.x dnews images that I found on the
ftp site. Both of them would never start, they would just core dump.
I was rebuilding my server, and was hoping to take advantage of the new filesystem features, such as background fsck for quicker reboots after a crash.
Is anyone running Dnews under FreeBSD 5.x? What version of FreeBSD 5 are you running? What version of dnews?
