I just ran the checkgroups script, and noticed that in addition to
generating the usual mail to "usenet", it also generated articles sent to
the sites we're connected to locally (which I tracked down in the spool
directory and killed off). The copy of the article in /usr/spool/news/control
shows "Distribution: local", as in the original. I thought that would
restrict the article/control-message to just this site. Is that
interpretation of "local" wrong? Do I need to add a distribution option
when the script is run through inews? (Ie. something in addition to the
"-h" option?)
