Yes, but to do this you need to download the active file. Without an active file there won't be any groups for you to select :-) . You can short-circuit things a little by touching a file named after the group in /var/spool/news/interesting.groups (at some point I'll probably get round to moving this into /var/state or /var/lib), but this mechanism is subject to change. -- Mark Brown mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Trying to avoid grumpiness) http://www.tardis.ed.ac.uk/~broonie/ EUFS http://www.eusa.ed.ac.uk/societies/filmsoc/
