Hello Tom!

I had the same problem.
Near to the end of the POST script is a single line containing "cat".
I changed this to /bin/cat. This fixed it.

I also had another problem. Seemingly you dont have this prob because
your sn already has accepted the posting.
My sn said "Hi, you cant post!". Seemingly setting env-vars (POSTING_OK") 
within hosts.allow doesnt work. (I use Mandrake 7.2.)
I changed the source of sn to fix this.

Im looking for a way to set env-vars for the user "news".
I already tried to set up .bash_profile and .bashrc. This doesnt work.
Anybody knows how to do this?

greetings,

Peter
