Anyone out there who has Cnews working with uucp?  I need help
in figuring out what causes these error messages.  After I pull
in my feed from a site called eskinews, I get this error.

Looks like a uuxqt error:
uuxqt eskinews news (1996-02-26 03:21:04.23 17618) ERROR: Not permitted to exe
cute rnews
uuxqt eskinews news (1996-02-26 03:21:04.56 17618) ERROR: Not permitted to exe

 ....

This may be a UUCP problem in that I haven't set the permissions for
Taylor UUCP to use rmail.  Nowhere is the Taylor code have I seen
anything about such permissions.

Thanks to anyone who has clues....

PS:  I realize that uucp and cnews are ancient; but it's worked 
well for years.  At night when the system isn't busy.
