Very odd, basically deleting a group doesn't require a restart (as long as
you use
tellnews rmgroup and not tellnews killgroup) and even if you do use
killgroup it
doesn't automatically restart dnews, it would only suggest that you restart
dnews.
Next restarting dnews shouldn't cause the system to reboot :-)
Can you reproduce this behaviour, if so I'd love to login and sort it out
as it's very odd.
My guess off the top of my head is the reboot was unrelated to dnews, it's
certainly never been reported before, but I could be wrong.

No, but It may cause your key to expire, try and load your old key and if
you get
an error send the error to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and they will sort you out.
