In the above referenced article I posted a pair of scripts to semi-automate
the administration of newgroups and rmgroups.  The second script has a
small bug due to the fact that it is run as root.  The mkpdir line should
be replaced by the following:

				dir=$NEWSARTS/`echo $3 | tr . ' ' `
				path=""

				for i in $dir
				do
					path=$path/$i
					if [ ! -d $path ]
					then
						mkdir $path
					fi
					chown news $path
				done

Sorry about that.
