Can someone give me a copy of the INET groups version or tell me where it might be retrieved? The groups seem to recreate themselves on receipt of new articles without a creation control message of inews -C command -- is this normal behavior? I thought even with NONEWGROUPS disabled the group had to be marked active in order for news (2.11) to make a spooling directory and place articles in it.
