Also, we saw a "net.newsite" creation. This group name does not show
up in the latest list of valid newsgroups, so is it, too, a bogus
creation?

I run a splinter news system on a machine where we keep a limited
subset of news groups. Our "sys" file has an explicit list of the
groups we want. Yet we are continually getting these new bogus
groups added to our "active" file, or other, valid but unwanted
groups added there, and new directories are created for them. Nothing
gets put in those directories, but I have to manually edit the junk
out of our "active" file and rmdir those directories. Is there
something I can do to prevent these creations from happening? The
news documentation seems to expect that everybody will run a
"complete" news system, and doesn't go into any detail on what
to do when you want to maintain a limited version.

Thanks for advice!

Will Martin
