The comp.sys.mac news group on our Sun network is permanently locked -
the 'x' command tells me to "consult a guru".  Our notes guru who
normally would deal with this problem is out until early January.  His
assistant seems unable (unwilling?) to fix the problem since nothing
has been done to fix the problem in spite of several requests.

So, how does one clear the lock on a locked news group?  Does this
require Superuser permissions?

Please reply by mail.

Thanks, Barry
