In that folder are stored the news files: they can be created by the system administrator to write some informations for the users, as suggested in this link.I tried as a normal user to add a file in /var/lib/sysnews, but nor this commandecho Hello world > /var/lib/sysnewsneither this commandsudo echo Hello world > /var/lib/sysnewsworked (it gives permission denied error).The folder is owned by root user and by the staff group. My normal user was already in the sudo group; I added the staff group for my user, but with no results.I can add news only by creating a file in one of my folders and then typingsudo mv myfile /var/lib/sysnewsbut it is bothering.Is there a simpler way to add some news file to that folder without being root?
Write a file in /var/lib/sysnews/
