I'm fairly new at administering the news at our site. We run Bnews 2.11. I noticed a directory called .tmp in our newspool directory. In .tmp there are numerous files (most of them empty) with names like .ina04416 and .ara00142 and some of them are a few months old. I've read our news documentation but I cannot see this directory mentioned anywhere. What purpose does this directory and these files serve ? How can I clean up the directory ? Thanks for your help, Anne Fraser Please email me the answers, if there is enough interest I'll post the results -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Anne Fraser uunet!jtsv16!geac!aeshq!annef Environment Canada Atmospheric Environment Service ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
