I had a similar problem with 'alt.binaries.pictures.erotica.'
The trailing dot caused the problems.
ctlinnd rmgroup alt.binaries.pictures.erotica.
fixed the problem on the servers that had this group.
Similar problem with 'alt.sex.'.
Is this a bug in inn? The groups in the active file were there from pre-
1.5.1 inn. (inn1.4unoff4)
Thank you Dave Barr and James Brister (and r$) for all this work...
