Description Ed Friedman 2000-05-05 20:04:53 UTC

While not strictly a bug, many rival Linux companies configure their system
at startup to default to looking for news as the default nntp server.
RedHat does not.  The change needed for RedHat to do this is to add the
line:

-ENNTPSERVER=news

at the end of /usr/lib/trn/INIT

That is a local configuration issue, IMHO.
