Looking at the error message, I take it you're using the version of inews in the 'inews' package. That looks in /var/lib/news/active to find the list of possible newsgroups. If you have a local news server, make sure 'test' is in its active file. If you don't, you'll need to install inewsinn or inn2-inews instead. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
