When I install 4.0, I am planning on changing the machine that is acting
as UUCP/USENET host.  I would like to continue to use the old machines
disks to hold all the news.  What I need to know is whether USENET will
ALWAYS run under its own uid so that a NFS mounted disk will work.

I am assuming this is true, but would like to hear from anyone who has
such a setup.  (We have had software in the past that will not work this
way)
