Touching the file creates it, but then it complains about the permissions later. I
then
went and did a chmod news:news /var/log/news/nntp* and it still complains.
So I said SCREW IT! I went and did a chmod -x /etc/cron.hourly/in-cron-nntpsend. So
it
doesn't try and run that every hour, and I stop getting the message.
But pretty much what it's trying to do is access a NNTP server and download the
newsgroups so you have them on your local machine. That's all. I'm not sure what in
the install enables that, but that's basically what's going on.
So if you want to get rid of that error message, find out what the program wants and
configure it, or make sure the file can't be executed.
