Hi Guys, I think I have a permissions problem somewhere as I can't run fetchnews from ip-up.

I fire up ktop to see whats happening and i see fetchnews being started but it shuts down before getting anything.

If I open a terminal and su then run fetchnews then it gets the news ok. How do I check to see if I am in the group 'news'? as I think perhaps that may be why it wont run properly unless run from root.

Type groups from the command line. Nick
