>Description:
	After doing a make install (or, I presume, pkg_add) of INN
	(pkgsrc/news/inn) it's not possible to just start INN up.

	Obviously, one should have to do configuration and starting the
	daemon up right off the bat is a bad idea, but this line in
	/etc/passwd, included in the default install, needs to be changed
	by the package:

	news:*:6:8::0:0:Network News:/var/spool/news:/sbin/nologin

	... as running the rc script installed by the package produces the
	following:

	grappa:~# /usr/pkg/etc/rc.d/innd start
	This account is currently not available.

	I'm *assuming* that just changing the news user's shell to /bin/sh
	is okay but I haven't exactly thought out all the security
	implications of doing so.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Install innd, try to use its start up script.
>Fix:
	none provided, especially since I'm unsure whether this should
	just be an addition to the post-install output ("You need to give
	the user 'news' a shell!") or an actual change to the package.

	Thoughts?
