        In re-implementing news programs on an IBM-XT,  I've  ex-
perienced a problem which I hope to elicit  some ideas on through
this request.

        It seems that inews generates an error "Directory permis-
sion  problem  in  /tmp.".  /Tmp is, in fact, chmod'ed to 777 and
chown'ed to "root", as are all good /tmps. Inews is,  for  debug-
ging intentions, chmod'ed 4755 and chown'ed "root". (The same er-
ror results when it's chown'ed to "news".) The program generating
the error is ifuncs.c.

        This inews  behavior  exists  after  updating  from  1.18
Venix/86 to 2.00 Venix/86 (both Unix ver. 7).

        Any help would be appreciated.
