(7.22) "newgroup" control messages aren't being executed

> "newgroup" control messages aren't be executed

The usual blame for this is _PATH_EGREP points to a grep that doesn't
understand regular expressions.  For example, GNU grep only understands
regular expressions if it is called "egrep" (i.e. not "gnuegrep" or
"egnugrep").

Make sure you have a link or symlink between egnugrep and egrep.  You
then need to modify config.data so that _PATH_EGREP is
/your/local/path/egrep and NOT /your/local/path/egnuegrep.  Then
recompile and "make install" to have the new binaries and shell
scripts installed.

You also want to check the syntax of your control.ctl file.
