[net.news.adm] Beware of "rmgroup net"

wescott@sauron.UUCP (Michael Wescott) (04/30/86)

Beware of trying to do an rmgroup of newsgroup net.  The rmgroup script
will try to do an rm -r /usr/spool/news/net, and you've lost all the news.

You will have to delete the entry in "active" by hand and then remove
the messages in /usr/spool/news/net.

I suspect that the reason the "rmgroup net" went out was that a
"newgroup net" went out before and someone with "a little knowledge"
tried to fix it.
