Chapter 3: Usenet (5 of 5) -- TROUBLESHOOTING


WHEN THINGS GO WRONG:

     * When you start up rn, you get a "warning" that "bogus newsgroups"
are present.  Within a couple of minutes, you'll be asked whether to keep
these or delete them.  Delete them.  Bogus newsgroups are newsgroups that
your system administrator or somebody else has determined are no longer
needed.
     * While in a newsgroup in rn, you get a message: "skipping
unavailable article."  This is usually an article that somebody posted
and then decided to cancel.
