 * From: "David O'Brien" <obrien@NUXI.com>

 * On your next ``make world'', you will need to change any "user.group"
 * specifications in /etc/newsyslog.conf to "user:group".

This is not the right way to do it.

-                if ((group = strchr(q, '.')) != NULL) {
+                if ((group = strchr(q, ':')) != NULL) {

Please first change it to accept both syntaxes, with a warning in the
manpage that the old one will go away in the future.  Then remove the
old syntax after a few months.
