Here is an enhancement to the innd initscript that will allow it to 
continue to work if the user has relocated their INN history database 
and/or news spool from the RedHat default location.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Edit inn.conf to relocate PATHHISTORY.
2. Try to start INN via the initscript.
	

Actual Results:  Get an error "please run makehistory or makedbz before 
running INN."

Expected Results:  Should have started INN.
