Lines: 7 I've also been thinking about the problems of running news transparently over a net. At Sun we currently rlogin to 'sun' to deal with news. My best idea so far is to run /usr/spool/news as a network file system and let users on any machine mount it read-only, running the current vnews/readnews/rn. However, inews should be run via rpc or rsh to the server to avoid race conditions in database updates.
