1. TIN subscribe prob (LInux newbie)
I'm a mile from home, but I don't know if I'll have time to post this when
I get home tonite with more particulars.
I'm installed the precompiled TIN available at sunsite.unc.edu onto my new
Linux 3.x setup (kernel 2.0.1, I believe). For the record, the file system
is UMSDOS running of a parallel port ZIP drive. (Yes, that's a slow as it
sounds, but I wanted to try Linux and had no where else to put it).
I don't know the TIN revision I'm running. It is the lateset binary on
sunsite. I'm running TIN -r to read directly off my site (local newsfeeed
another day's project).
When I try to subscribe to a new newsgroup, I get an error renaming
.oldnewsrc. My standard user has -rw rights to the file in my home
directory. TIN binary was installed by root.
All I end up with are the lastest bogus new groups in my subscribe list.
None of my subscriptions take.
I've tried resetting the newsrc file, and this changed the bahavior a bit
(eliminated the problem witih .oldnewsrc), but I still get only the new
bogus groups. I tried reinstalling the binary, but no go either.
Any pointers on what I'm doing wrong? I'm knew enought to Linux that I
presume its me.
