The USENET Version B manual states that a "checkgroups" control message is periodically broadcast through the network on a regular basis by the person who maintains the list of active newsgroups. I have been running NEWS for two weeks and have yet to see one of these messages, thus I have no newsgroups file. How often is this message sent and by whom? I get other conrol messages just fine.
