INSTALL.run Misleads Over PATH.

Hi,

INSTALL.run says at one point.

   #!/bin/sh
   # snntpd needs to find snstore if it is to accept news postings.
   # Replace BINDIR with the real value of BINDIR from the Makefile.
   PATH=BINDIR
   export PATH
   # Enable posting?  Can also do this from /etc/hosts.allow
   POSTING_OK=1; export POSTING_OK # yes
   # No: unset POSTING_OK
   # Run snntpd, and log errors in the system log:
   BINDIR/snntpd 2>&1 | /usr/bin/logger -p news.info
   # Run snntpd, and log errors in a log file:
   # BINDIR/snntpd 2>>/where/you/want/the/snntpd.log   
   # End of wrapper script.

This is misleading because PATH cannot be set to just BINDIR as POST
requires cat, etc.  I guess it should be PATH=$PATH:BINDIR.

Cheers,


Ralph.

PS.  Still no replies from the list.  I can see there are some
subscribers other than me.  Would one of you just say `ping' so I know
this is reaching somebody.

Is `sn' active or am I wasting my time getting to grips with it?
