I am trying to setup USENET on a VAX 11/780 under Eunice. I have managed to get pathalias and the news software compiled and working successfully. However, I am having problems with 'rn' Specifically, I ran the Configure script (thank God for them!) and then make as instructed. It all ran beautifully and rn seemed to work perfectly. I ran it a couple of times to test it and then suddenly it stopped working without any apparent reason. I have tried remaking, etc. and made sure that my news software works perfectly. The specific error occurs upon startup: getwd: cannot open .. Caught an internal error-- .newsrc restored I tried messing around with directory protections but nothing seems to work. I am making and trying to run the software from an account with all privileges, so I assume that privileges is not the problem. I would be very grateful if anyone could give me any pointers regarding this matter. Please mail any replies to me directly, and I will post a summary to the net if there is sufficient interest. --Narendra Varma UUCP: ...cbosgd!musky2!nvarma CSNet: ccvarma%muskingum.edu@relay.cs.net
