Hi 
I'm trying to start using a localhost nntp server called leafnode.
The instructions for leafnode instruct me to run the program "fetch",
which actually goes out and gets the news, as user "news". 
Unfortunately, news gets the error:
Could not open lockfile /var/run/fetch.lck for writing, abort fetch ...
Sould I change the permissions on the dir (seems like a bad idea...)
or run fetch as root?
Thanks,
Andy
