---------------------------------------------------------------

Your active file needs to contain groups called control and junk - 
The easiest way to do it is to

~news/bin/ctlinnd newgroup control
~news/bin/ctlinnd newgroup junk

I also like to add a line in the ~news/etc/nnrp.access file, something like
[allowed-hosts]:Read Post:::*,!junk,!control
So the control and junk groups aren't displayed to the readers.

Be sure and run ~news/bin/inncheck to see if you've got any other problems
before you fire up rc.news.
