I have two questions (being new to news administration):
1.  Can anybody tell me what the following messages mean:

	From root Mon Feb  4 00:00:00 1991
	To: news
	Date: Mon Feb  4 00:00:00 1991

	df: /usr/spool not block special
	expr: syntax error
	/usr/lib/news/sendbatch: test: argument expected


	*************************************************
	Cron: The previous message is the standard output
      	and standard error of one of your cron commands.


	From root Mon Feb  4 02:00:01 1991
	To: news
	Date: Mon Feb  4 02:00:01 1991

	df: /usr/spool not block special


	*************************************************
	Cron: The previous message is the standard output
      	and standard error of one of your cron commands.


2.	 When you get a notice for a news group and you are set up
	to manually create them, how do you do it without sending
	control messages throughout all of creation?

E-mail responses are fine (jaa@rsch.oclc.org - or -

Thanks!
