You are correct. I discovered that I can run slrn as root and it works, but not as a user. That must be a permission problem somewhere. Here are my permissions as compared to yours. (I had to change some of them becaused I fiddled with it earlier): drwxr-sr-x 5 news news 1024 Feb 12 17:51 slrnpull/ > ls -l /var/spool > drwxr-sr-x 5 news news 1024 Feb 13 16:55 slrnpull > drwxr-xr-x 2 news news 1024 Feb 13 11:21 data/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root news 176351 Feb 13 11:21 log drwxr-x--x 3 news news 1024 Feb 13 08:41 news/ drwxrwxrwx 3 news news 1024 Jan 24 09:14 out.going/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root news 1438 Feb 12 17:51 slrnpull.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 news news 1472 Mar 4 1997 slrnpull.conf~ > drwxr-xr-x 2 news news 1024 Feb 13 17:03 data > -rw-r--r-- 1 root news 535753 Feb 13 17:03 log > drwxr-xr-x 5 news news 1024 Feb 13 13:51 news > drwxrwxrwx 3 news news 1024 Feb 8 15:02 out.going > -rw-r--r-- 1 root news 194 Feb 13 16:55 score > -rw-r--r-- 1 root news 442 Feb 13 16:54 slrnpull.conf drwxr-x--x 3 jhspies js 1024 Feb 13 08:41 comp/ > drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 1024 Feb 2 10:19 aus > drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 1024 Feb 3 04:54 comp > drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 1024 Feb 2 10:19 news Thanks for your trouble. It least I can read it now although it is as root.
