    Has anyone had any success creating an ASE environment for INN

The version of inn should be irelivent.  I have succecfully done it 
for the Internet AlphaServer on a couple of versions of inn.  I have 
also done it using Netscapes Sweet Spot News Server.

INN is very simple for ASE. 

Step 1 - Place the contnets of /newslib and /var/spool/news on the
         ASE disk and point to the location with links.

Step 2 - Have the ASE start script start innd.

Step 3 - Have the ASE start script stop innd.

Step 4 - Anything started in crontob for inn that resides in /newslib
         needs to be modified to use a wrapper script on the local
         disk.  The ones I did for IAS were news.daily, ctlinnd and
         nntpsend.  The ctlinnd.wrapper script did:

         #!/bin/sh
         [ -x /newslib/bin/ctlinnd ] && /newslib/bin/ctlinnd $*

    Thanks Keith,
    
    I'll try this.  A first look at the places where INN had all its files
    (and the cron jobs) made this look difficult.

Step 3 Should be the ASE stop script.
