I knew I forgot something. In addition to the information in the previous message, I should have pointed out that att.all is also proprietary to AT&T and can't be sent to the CSO. Likewise, things like mh.all, wh.all, and ho.all probably can't go to the CSO (although local custom should decide this, as there are still some CSO employees in the buildings.) If anything proprietary gets posted to these newsgroups, they can't go to the CSO. If you have CSO employees on BTL machines, you can protect proprietary netnews by putting all CSO employees into one group and chmodding /usr/spool/news/{att,btl} to 505 with that group. This does not solve the problem for your non-news information. The newsgroup class abbl.all is dead, replaced with att.all. You should remove all traces of abbl from your machines. Mark Horton
