That must have been it. While we're on the subject of C-News, do you 
know if there is a way to enable/disable automatic rmgroups and
newgroups. I guess I'm too lazy to look through all the source code
and it didn't seem to be in the obvious places (NEWSBIN/ctl/rmgroup
and newgroup scripts). 

I'm also getting problems with people running postnews (a Bourne Shell
Script) from csh. For some reason, csh doesn't see the "# !/bin/sh"
in the file and tries to execute the script itself, which fails with
a "variable syntax" error (Bourne Shell and csh use different variable
syntax). This seems to occur intermittantly in Xenix.
