It turned out that the suid bit on inews had become unset, and the new articles were being installed in junk. If you find you aren't getting any mod.all groups, check the sys file of the machines upstream from you - perhaps they aren't transmitting them. If you also aren't getting net.announce, you may be running news version 2.10, with the mod bug. Or someone upstream from you may be running a very old news, or notesfiles, or sending you news in A format, all of which will strip out the approval stamp neede for moderated newsgroups to be accepted. If you are getting some mod.all groups but missing others, check the suid bit on inews, your junk directory, and your log file. One recently posted article to grep for is <571@genrad.UUCP>, in newsgroup mod.sources. If you are getting most moderated groups, but nothing on mod.music or mod.unix, this is to be expected. Nothing is being posted to those two newsgroups right now, as far as I know. Mark Horton
