I'm having a problem with the relaynews that comes with the SLS 0.99 dist.
I can't post news articles on my system (using tin or nn). When I try posting
to a local newsgroup using nnpost I get a mailed error message containing
the following:

 relaynews: warning: renouncing setuid due to nonstandard `NEWSMASTER' in
 environment

 relaynews: can't create lock temporary `/usr/local/lib/news/LOCK...'
 (Permission denied)

I have relaynews setuid news, running it directly results in:

 relaynews: set[ug]id failed (Operation not permitted)

What's wrong ? and more to the point, how do I fix it ?
(I'm running the 0.99.6 kernel)
