RE: [leafnode-list] Groups Not Being Removed

["Jeff Grossman" <jeff@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Okay, before I apply the patch from the other e-mail, I have a question.  I
looked through my dormant.groups directory and those groups are not listed.
But, I noticed that the groups do exist in interesting.groups.  In my config
file I have timeout_short set at 2 and timeout_long is set at 7.  Those
groups have not had any messages in them for quite sometime.  How come they
are still in my interesting.groups directory?  I just went and looked how I
was calling Fetchnews.  And, I do not use the -n switch, so that is not the
problem.  Those groups are not in my subscribed groups in my newsreader, so
they should not be getting hit.  How can I look and see what dates or mtime
or atime (not sure what those are, I have just heard them used) are for
those groups in question?

Thanks,
Jeff

p.s. I was not aware of the 12/03 version.  Did I miss the announcement
about that version?
