 I'm using 2.0.1, currently, I should have mentioned that.  Thanks for 
getting back so quickly. :)  
   
   
 What I've been seeing is this (and please note, there's not timestamp on 
the lockfiles that are created, only a datestamp):  
   
 ~mailman/locks/gate_news.lock ~mailman/gate_news.lock.my.hostname.org.pid 
  
   
 And then also the newsgroup lock files.  Recently I've been having 
problems with my ISP's newsserver and all I'm seeing are the 
gate_news.lock files.  They don't seem to go away (but I have no way of 
PROVING that because there's no time stamps.  
   
 Sample:  
   
 -rw-rw-r--   2 mailman  mailman        58 Mar 14  2001 gate_news.lock  
 -rw-rw-r--   2 mailman  mailman        58 Mar 14  2001 
gate_news.lock.my.host.org.pid  
   
   
 However, I DID have one that was a day old, which is where I'm presuming 
this problem is coming from.  After I removed the lock, the next time 
gate_news runs it imports the newsgroups (assuming the news server is up). 
 
   
 That's about the only place where I see the problem, and like I said, 
removing the lockfiles makes it work the next time around.  If I'm on the 
wrong track for debugging this let me know so I can take a look in the 
right place. :)
