[news.software.nntp] Checkgroups says all topics invalid

alberti@cs.umn.edu (Albatross) (10/19/90)

About once a week I get a note from /usr/lib/newsbin/ctl/checkgroups saying that
"the following newsgroups are not valid and should be removed".  It then goes
on to list every newsgroup!  I've scanned the program for references to this
checkgroups script to find out who is running it (it isn't a straight cron
entry) in order to determine the context of the message, but can't find
the calling program, either.  Any assistance would be appreciated.
