>Description:
The inn port sets the permissions on the /usr/local/bin/rnews programs to
-r-sr-x---  1 news  uucp  23325 Oct  6 09:57 /usr/local/bin/rnews
This prevents /usr/libexec/uucp/uuxqt from executing it since its permissions are:
-r-sr-x---  1 uucp  uucp  98304 Nov  2 14:53 /usr/libexec/uucp/uuxqt
>How-To-Repeat:
Just try to receive news by UUCP using the inn port as you newserver sw.

>Fix:
Either change the permissions on rnews to r+x for all or make the
uuxqt binary g+s so that it's effective groupid permits it to execure rmail
