Thank you for improvements! I approve the patch.

You are right about it being odd that the entire news/ is writable.
Unfortunately, this is a common pattern for nntp software since the beginning.
If you install news/inn, for example, it also has binaries under news/ and
expects
other subdirectories to be writable by news. I am looking at a CentOS package
for Diablo that does the same thing.

I would be hesitant to change permissions under the news directory because it
can break custom workflows for users of the port in subtle ways.
