It seems that trn4 is looking to /etc/news/server, always. If I put a bogus hostname in access.def, trn looks to /etc/news/server; if /etc/news/server is empty I get: Connecting to /etc/news/server.../etc/news/server: Unknown host. failed. There is a /usr/share/trn4/access.def, but it is just a symlink to /etc/trn4/access.def. Thanks, rir -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
