I was informed of a patch for rn (#48) that just became available, and one
of the problems that it was suppose to correct is failure to notify users
of newly formed local groups.  I obtained the patch, installed it, and
ran the new rn.  I then su'd to news and created another new local group
using addgroup.  I then ran the new 'rn', but got the same results.  I
was alerted to the fact that new newsgroups had been created on the net,
but nothing as far as the local newsgroup I had just created.  Am I
doing something wrong?

Thanks.
