If I don't nightly fsck (usually -y) my news spool partition there is almost always some sort of bad directory (that my news server can't write into) or file that makes my news server unhappy. fsck -y usually clears out a _LOT_ of problems. It is 1.1.5.1 (waiting for 2.x to settle down) with an Ultrastor 34F (VLB) and a connor 1.3 G SCSI-2 drive. Any Ideas? --Steve
