I don't use SuSE 8.0 either, so I'm afraid I don't know it. It was just
quick guesswork. Thorsten replied to me and told me it fixed the bug.

I haven't looked at the rpm yet, so I can't tell anything about it.
Thorsten's noffle used to do what he expected until he added 'noffle --fetch'
to /etc/ppp/ip-up.local. His giant log file noted wrong file permissions of the
files in the outgoing/news.cis.fn.de/ directory, the lock and lastupdate files.
Have I forgotten some entries when skimming through the log?
