>Description:
  When using an old newsyslog.conf, one gets:

	asparagus# newsyslog
	newsyslog: config line 7: bad permissions

  Changing that line to have "root:wheel" instead of "root.wheel"
fixes things, but the manpage claims the dot syntax still works.

>How-To-Repeat:
  See above.

>Fix:
  Correct user/group parsing in newsyslog, or update the manpage.
