[net.news] rn warning: somebody reset ... assuming nothing read

mojo@kepler.UUCP (Morris Jones) (08/05/85)

We're a very new news installation, and not all newsgroups have articles.

rn is constantly complaining about these newsgroups with the message

  Warning!  Somebody reset net.unused.group -- assuming nothing read
  Checking .newsrc -- one moment ...

...whereupon it reports all of the groups and prints the message several
times.  The next time it comes upon one of these groups it starts the whole
process over again.

Is there something I can do as the SA to make this problem go away?  Is there
something I flubbed in the installation?
