I recently switched from SCO Xenix to Interactive Unix 
and re-installed my news (2.11) from one of the bnews 
distribution disks (without the Xenix mods).  

I have noticed that articles coming in for new groups
are not automatically getting added to my system but are
going out to NULL.  According to the docs, there is an
option to have new groups appended to the system (which
I enabled in defs.h) but am it for some reason doesn't
appear to be working.  Newgroups that are listed in
my active file make it to the system just fine even
if no articles exist (the directory is then made) - but
what do I need to do so that new message groups are appended
to my active list, .newsrc and the articles tossed to the
new directory?
