Thanks Jeff,
But I double check the owner of the overview subdirectories and they are
own by "news". Yes, we are using tradindexed. Anything else I should
check? Can the overview DB be rebuilt?
Thx,
Howard

I think the most likely scenario to exhibit the behavior of
unexpectedly-empty groups is a problem of some kind with the overview
database. I wouldn't normally expect that to only affect newly created
groups, though.
Unless...
I bet you're using tradindexed, and that the problem is that INN is
unable to create new directories in the overview tree. Check the
ownership and permissions carefully and I'll bet you'll find something.
If you have a large overview tree, you may find it useful to do
something like this:
find ~news/spool/overview/ -type d | xargs ls -ld
and then scan the results and see if you catch something like the above.
If I had to guess, I'd say that some of the directories are owned by
root instead of news.
