[net.news.b] duplicate news groups in active?

dcm (08/02/82)

Does anyone know why already-existing newsgroups keep being added to 
the bottom of our /usr/lib/news/active file?  There's no notice in 
usenet's mailbox.			pur-ee!iuvax!dcm.

Whenever a new group is created, it gets added to your active list.
If you (or anyone) want, I will send you a little shell and ed
script that I have that orders the active file into alphabetical
order in subgroups (net, fa, etc)
