I'm having a problem with expire on B news 2.11.14. It seems to completely trash my /usr/spool/news filesystem about once every two weeks. The damage is so severe fsck can't recover it, even with repeated runs. I end up having to run mkfs. One symptom I've noticed with each occurence is directory entries containg file names with embedded `/' characters; ls will say something like "ab/cd not found" when you're in the offending directory. The only clue I have is that this only seems to occur when expire runs following a day of little or no incoming news. I run expire daily. I'm running Venix/286 (SVR2). Has anyone seen a problem like this? -- John Temples -- UUCP: uunet!jwt!john
