Hello,
I'm trying to install INN, the nntp server on openSUSE 15.3
I am root on this system, and log as root with ssh key.
INN is available from yast, so not problem installing the binaries. But...
INN installs itself as user "news". The "news" folder is available with cd ~news, and is physically setup in /etc/news.
this user is a system user and not allowed to login.
however, some commands are better used as user news.
What is the best way to achieve this?
How about "su -s /bin/sh news" (as root) ? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (6.1°C)
