I've gotten similar (benign) messages printed to stderr from user-ppp, but only a root, I think. Anonying. Couldn't we fix this from going to stderr and instead being sent as an informational message to root//and-or whoever is doing the sysadmin? I have finally (*I hope*) successfully gotten Cnews working, and it was thanks to the warning and urgent mail messages from new scripts that I was able to pick out nits, bugs, and small/annonying errors that were cropping up. Informing the sysadmin about what's going on just makes sense. Anybody else? gary >
