You should not be automatically running checkgroups messages. I haven't been issuing the actual checkgroups control message for some time now, so any actual "checkgroups" message is either a mistake or one intended for an alternate hierarchy. The checkgroups messages I post are in a regular submission rather than as the actual control message, and it has to be edited to be run for your local sites. -- Gene Spafford NSF/Purdue/U of Florida Software Engineering Research Center, Dept. of Computer Sciences, Purdue University, W.
