Twice now I've executed a 'history -r' to rebuild the history file and found lines from active in history. Maybe the first thirty or so lines of the newly created history file are active lines describing groups instead of history lines describing articles. The last time I found this was using standard System V news 2.11 PL 14. Now I've run it again after having added the dbz.c file to eliminate the history.d files. This seems to have worked fine, and it is catching duplicate articles as it should -- BUT I've noticed the active lines in the history file again. I've poked around minimally in expire.c, but I don't see where it's doing this, much less why. Should I just delete these lines? That's what I did the last time and it seemed to work OK. It does not, however, give me a warm fuzzy feeling. Should I just shut up and soldier? Any thoughts? (If anybody has RTFM thoughts, please include a reference to which FM I should be looking at . . .) -- Tim J Ihde INTERNET: tim@attdso.att.com (201) 898-6687 UUCP: att!attdso!tim
