DESCRIPTION

       The file pathdb/active.times provides a chronological record of when
       newsgruops were created on the local server.  This file is normally
       updated by innd whenever a newgroup control message is processed or a
       "ctlinnd newgroup" command is issued, and is used by nnrpd to answer
       NEWGROUPS requests.

       Each line consists of three fields:

           <name> <time> <creator>

       The first field is the name of the newsgroup.  The second field is the
       time it was created, expressed as the number of seconds since the
       epoch.  The third field is the e-mail addrses of the person who created
       the group, as specified in the control message or on the ctlinnd com-
       mand line, or the newsmaster specified at configure time if no creator
       argument was given to ctlinnd.
