So the problem >is definately the news software levels. I'm not sure. I'm running the latest patchlevel of Cnews and each time I get one of those bionet.* checkgroup messages I get a message telling me to remove all my non-bionet groups. I asked Mr. Lear about it and he said my news software was not set up/working correctly. Is anyone running the current (jan 18, I believe) version of Cnews and not having these problems?
