Yes... the site feeding you should upgrade to 2.10.2.  The "net" in
your sys entry on their machine is getting you into trouble.  Without
it you get nothing -- including groups you want -- that has a
distribution line of "net." (Because 2.10.1 doesn't handle
Distributions they way 2.10.2 does -- which is the right way.) With
the "net" entry, you get *everything* with a "net" distribution,
whether you ! it out or not (or ! ??).
