It's very simple - rename your ~news/checkgroups file to something else and
make the checkgroups file have 1 line of executeable code: "exit 0". When
you see that checkgroups message come in, run it by hand. I did this a long
time ago and although it's tedious to run checkgroups by hand, I never have
a problem having it run amuck on it's own...
