This cron job is set up by the install. Here's the culprit:
<<
[root@mozart /root]# /etc/cron.hourly/inn-cron-nntpsend
Can't open "/var/run/news/shlock9719", Permission denied
[root@mozart /root]# ls -l /etc/cron.hourly/inn-cron-nntpsend
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 65 Jul 22 05:27
/etc/cron.hourly/inn-cron-nntpsend*
>>
The directory /var/run/news/ is empty, and the permissions on /var/run/news are
drwxr-xr-x.
Anyone know why this should fail?
