Help, Everytime someone needs to modify USEnet software at our site, such that the links are not where they should be, we lose the spooled news for that particular day. For example, when we upgraded from Ultrix 2.0 to Ultrix 2.2, the /usr/ucb/compress file was not reinstalled. Because the USEnet saftware expected it to be there, we did not receive news on the days which the link was not present. Is there a way to recover lost news during these screwed up days? Do these files remain somewhere on the system so that all we need to do is perform rnews on them and they will become available? Any help will be appreciated, as well as advice as to how we may be able to test our system setup after events such as system upgrades to ensure it will not happen again.
