Hi.
When I trying out INN and have done all the thing of setup i thing I have to do, and using this command:
su - news -c/usr/lib64/news/bin/rc.news
or
su news -c /usr/lib64/news/bin/rc.nes
and then checks in directory /var/log/news is there nothing made of logs.
and looking it system logs in /var/log/messages is it showing this:
Successful su for news by root
+ tty4 root.news (I does it on box4 why the other box wondows is used to other things.
session opened for user news by (uid=0)
session closed for user news
Do anyone know what there is worng ?
I have setup al the path the shoudl need for INN.
Just have I to make a new user named news and INN.

Have you followed the install instructions?

Do not forget to update your cron entries, and also run makedbz if you need to. If this is a first-time installation a minimal active file has been installed. You will need to touch history and run 'makedbz -i' to initialize the history database. See INSTALL for more information.
You need to assign a real shell to the news user, or else starting inn will fail. You can use 'usermod -s /bin/bash news' for this.

You should then be able to use the init script (/etc/init.d/innd) to start/stop the service. |
