That may be what you'd like, but you're being unreasonable. RedHat survives by
selling support. You are expecting free support, when you haven't even
supported them. The distributer you used probably got its RedHat image for
free, as RedHat makes its stuff available for free. Since you paid your money
to that distributer, it is the company which should be supporting you.

I guess you now know who not to do business with in the future. Next time, why
not do business with RedHat directly?

That's exactly what these mailing lists are for, aren't they?

Please let us know what commands you issue in ordder to get your routing set
up, and to activate IP masquerading. Without information of this sort, it is
impossible for any of us to adequately help you.

Now don't get too picky! Perhaps it's time you took some time to understand
your old scripts and/or to move ahead into the future instead of expecting
everyone else to help you remain in the past.

Either shut down the news server vi "chkconfig innd off", or uninstall the
entire news package via "rpm -e inn". Either way, reboot after the change.
