	Funny how people do the same thing in different ways,  I'm lazy, I 
wrote my checkjunk as script.  It checks each article in the junk directory
for Newsgroup lines and Approved lines.  New newsgroups that have an Approved
line are created moderated.  Only thos groups in the hierarchies given in the
"ok" variable are created.  This is written for CNEWS,  but the changes for
BNEWS should be minimal.  On the nodes I administer this script runs every night
and the output generated is part of the daily report.

#	This script checks the Newsgroups lines in the articles in the junk
# directory,  if the newgroup  is not in active,  a local newgroup message
# is created.  If the article contains an approved line then we assume that
# the newsgroup should be created moderated,  otherwise it will be unmoderated.
