Description of problem:

If you are running innd but don't have an infeed running then you presumably won't have any lock files in var/spool/news/innfeed.

However news.daily has the following lines:

    cd "${PATHSPOOL}/${INNFEEDSPOOL}"

    # Find the PIDs of innfeed.
    LOCKS=`cat *.lock | ${SORT} -u`

This attempt to 'cat' non-existent files leads to the following daily error message in the email sent out by the daily cron process inn-cron-expire:
    cat: *.lock: No such file or directory

This message is annoying, unnecessary, and confusing.

The code should be changed to either check for the presence of lock files first or at least to send the stderr to /dev/null.

For example:

LOCKS=`cat *.lock 2>/dev/null | ${SORT} -u`

Simple problem.... simple fix
