[Last changed: 2-AUG-1992] [Changes since last regular posting: Added vmsnet.vms-posix] I have been informed that some news sites do not tolerate checkgroups messages well, so I will no longer send them. From now on I will post this message once per month. Included below is a checkgroups message that you can apply to your own system. Simply extract this message into a file, delete everything up to and including the "--- Cut Here ---" line, and feed the resulting file to ANU News with the command: news/noscreen add file/genid file-name where file-name is the name of the file you have created. News will create a command file to correct any errors it finds in the configuration of the vmsnet groups and mail it to the news manager. If instead of the above command you enter: news/noscreen add file/execute/genid file-name News will create correct any errors it finds immediately, and mail to the news manager a list of the actions it took. NOTE: if you are running a version of ANU News earlier than 6.0-3 (or 6.0-2 with patches posted to the net on 1/31/91 by Bill Glass), the /GENID qualfier is not supported, and is not needed. Simply leave it off. -- Terry Poot <tp@mccall.com> The McCall Pattern Company (uucp: ...!rutgers!depot!mccall!tp) 615 McCall Road (800)255-2762, in KS (913)776-4041 Manhattan, KS 66502, USA ------------------------------- Cut Here ------------------------------ Newsgroups: vmsnet.admin.ctl,control Subject: cmsg checkgroups Control: checkgroups From: tp@mccall.uucp Distribution: local Approved: tp@mccall.uucp vmsnet.admin Administration of the VMSnet newsgroups. vmsnet.announce General announcements of interest to all.
