I've setup `slrnpull', on my IBM T21 running Slackware-9.1,
to fetch articles from alt.os.linux.slackware. It successfully
downloads the bodies of new articles and stores them inside
`spool_inn_root/news/alt/os/linux/slackware directory. When I
execute `slrn --spool -f ~/.jnewsrc --create', slrn picks up the
name of the newsgroup correctly, but when instructed to get in, it
displays an error message:
Unable to open directory /var/spool/slrnpull/news/alt/os/linux/slackware

I changed the permissions on the directory in question, thinking
lack of permission might be the issue, but to no effect.

I just hope this post gets to past the spooler.

I'm sorry for posting that in a hurry. A little experimentation with the
spool_root and spool_nov_root directories did the trick.
