Is there a tutorial or something out there on how to set up a news spool? I'm running FreeBSD-2.1.0 and use 'suck' to suck in a few newsgroups. Now I'd like to use tin to read the news, but apparently don't have things set up right (what dir I should suck the articles to ,how to set up the config files, etc.). The error I get when I run tin is: tin 1.2 PL2 [UNIX] (c) Copyright 1991-93 Iain Lea. Reading news active file...Active file corrupt - comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.announce /usr/local/lib/news/active contains no newsgroups. Exiting. Thanks in advance, -- | ___ Erik L.
