I seem to have a problem with my news 2.11 software. I cannot locally create a newgroup. If an external control message from the net creates a newgroup it works fine. The command I use to create a new group is: /usr/lib/news/inews -C rec.music.beatles < /dev/null My terminal screen responds after a moment with: ///usr/lib/news/inews -n c.ctl -c newgroup -d local -a "usenet@grc.UUCP and then returns to the prompt. The log file however says: Oct 9 13:24 local Unrecognized control message - n As far as I can tell, all access permissions are correct on all files. Yes, inews is suid, sgid to the news administrator. Can anyone out there give me a clue as to what the problem might be? Thanks in advance to those who reply.
