[news.admin] "rn" problems

sccm@tcistl2.UUCP (Mason) (02/04/89)

Running 2.11 news software as provided by SCO... 

After running "expire", running "rn" produces almost endless messages
regarding "someone has reset .... assuming nothing read".  I can see
perhaps getting this message once, but the program appears to produce
the message for every group in the active file, before allowing the reader
to view the first occupied news group, and then repeating the message 
process before the next occupied news group can be read.

What a pain...

I am a neophyte in regards to Usenet, and I suppose there is a simple
solution to this problem, but I can't seem to find it in the reference
materials available to me.

Suggestions via mail would be appreciated...
