As Tony Masefield pointed out, I had forgotten to use the correct name
for the news server.

I think of it as the Firebird news server, but its proper name is the
Atkin news server.

Anyways, to update...

The existing server/HDDs won't boot, so we are in the process of
configuring a new server and working on migrating the existing config to
it.


It is expected that, between one thing and another, it will take another
2 days for this to happen (the project members are 99% volunteers).


Thanks for your understanding.
