Hello all,

	I am looking for an "official" list of all valid newsgroups.  I have
been getting serveral *odd* groups and haven't recieved a newgroup control 
message.  News has only been up and running for a short time on this machine
and the list of news groups that came with the source distribution seems to 
be well out of date.

	Is there a way to keep users from being able to READ certain news
groups, I know FASCIST will keep them from posting.  I would prefer if I could 
even make the newsgroups *completely* hidden from them, just as if we weren't
getting that particular group at all.  We are running News2.11.  I have tried
to get TMNN3.0 working, but can't quite seem to get all of the pieces to 
work right togeather on our Sun 3/180 running SunOS 3.5.

Any help with any of these problems would be greatly appreciated.

Please E-mail replies directly to me - Thanks!
