[news.software.b] users not alerted to local newsgroups

dcox@ssd.kodak.com (Don Cox (253-7121)) (11/10/90)

I created a new group to be used just within my department using the
command 'addgroup ispd.general y'.  The group was created properly, but
no one is alerted to the fact that the group was created when they
call up rn.  Whenever a new group is established on the net I am
questioned whether or not I want to subscribe to it, why wasn't I 
asked for the local group?

I am running the latest version of C News on a Sun4/260 running SunOS4.0.3.

BTW ... I created the local newsgroups as user "news", so the directory
/usr/spool/news/ispd/general is owned by news (as is all the other news
directories).  The new entry is showing up at the bottom of the list in
the active file (and looks like every other entry).

Thanks.
