Chepkov > Kharkiv Online ISP I don't quite understand how this could fix the problem. If the group on the uuxqt file is uucp, then this would make the program a member of the "uucp" group. I am willing to try it, but I am skeptical about whether this can solve this problem. The problem as I see it is that the rnews program is running as a separate process as user "news" and group "news" which does not have permission to read the file. What user, group, and permissions are on the uuxqt file? What user, group, and permissions are on the rnews file? What are the entries in the group file for uucp and news?
