I just made my Sun an nntp client (mini-inews and rrn only) and I've
noticed a strange behaviour of rrn.  I use rn to read the news and
when it gets to the end of the newsgroups it allows me to go back and
check the groups I read from the beginning. When I read news on a machine
that had the articles on a local disk, rn would see any new articles that 
arrived while I was reading news.  With articles on a remote
machine, rrn never sees the new articles.  I have to quit that instance of
rrn and start it up again in order to see the new articles.  (I hope that's
clear.)

Is this a known bug or did I perhaps configure something wrong?
