I have a situation where /usr/spool/news/.rnews seems to be filled
up with old files that never seem to go away. Currently it amounts
to about 8 MB on my system. The latest file has not been touched
since Sept. 11, 1988. I couldn't find much documentation on the
contents of $SPOOL/.rnews, but by looking at the source it appears
to be temp files related to unbatching and un-compressing. Why
aren't these files going away? Is it safe to delete them now?
