: News software at revision 2.10.2 and beyond has the capability of
: automatically comparing the active file against a centrally-maintained
: list of active groups.  Until a majority of network sites upgrade their
: news to a version compatible with the "checkgroups" control message,
: site administrators will have to run the message by hand.  What follows
: is a shell script to run such a message at your site.  If your "inews"
: program does not reside in /usr/lib/news/inews, change the variable
: declaration given below, or else enter the pathname at the prompt.
