[news.software.b] CNEWS or RN problem...

     Hi folks!  We seem to have a problem with the interaction between rn
and cnews expire or on e or the other.  To save disk space (we don't have
allot to spare right now...) most news groups are being expired after three
days.  When a user tries to read a group they get the message "skiping
unavailable article".  Problem is all articles includeing unexpired
articles are skipped!  Looking in the directory shows the articles there
and reading previous articles works.  Anybody got any ideas as to what is
going on?  Thanks!
