Well, someone I work with is fond of saying: "Progress is a change in
error messages." I guess this qualifies. Here is what I get now:
Can't get list of newsgroups, Permission denied.
(Article not posted.)
I don't really know what I did to get this. Funny thing is I have no
problem getting the full list of groups to browse and read. This only
shows up when I post. I still think it is inn.
BTW, I do have the inews variable set with the -hS flags.
Ideas are still welcome. It is really late here, so I am crashing.
