I'm running rn pl54 compiled as rrn and nntp 1.5.11. I'm having problems where rrn doesn't see always see new newsgroups that I create. I've skimmed the source and figured out that in birthof(), if there are no articles in a new group, it returns 0 as the creation time rather than the current time. This means that unless there are articles in a brand new group, the user will won't see them. Since the new size of the active file is now stored in .rnlast, the user won't know about the new groups until the next time the active file changes size. Can I just change birthof() so it returns the current time if the nntp server says the group is valid? -Jonathan hue@island.COM
