On installation, the news server was installed (I didn't fine-tuned my selection at the installation stage). How can I remove it? hehe it's really annoying I'm getting a cron generated error message because of it:

Hostname does not resolve or 'domain' in inn.conf is missing

Thanks..

apt-get remove inn2-inews should do it if that's the news server you're running.

thanks... In the future I'll learn the Debian commands since I'm coming from the rpm environment.
