HELP! I am a new user of rn on xenix 2.3.1. I've had news up
and running for just a week or so. Last night, I ran
expire ( -e 5 ) for the first time. This morning, when I
tried running rn again, I got the message
Warning! Somebody reset <newsgroup> -- assuming nothing read.
This message appears over and over, for dozens of newgroups.
It makes it almost impossible to use rn. Does anyone know
what causes this? I've even deleted my .newsrc file and
let rn rebuild it. Same problem. I also deleted the
history file and ran expire -r to rebuild that. Same problem.
Any insights or suggestions would be VERY much appreciated.
I'm at ...srhqla!sagepub!dfm. Thanks!
David

I had the same problem, and solved (?) it by getting the sources for rn and compiling it on my system. Apparently SCO did some twiddling with the news software which causes it.
