Yeah I know I'm being a pain, but ...
My News Server running on FreeBSD 2.1.5 is not expiring news correctly(in
fact I've never been able to get it follow the expire.ctl correctly).
After struggling to get this server to honor the expiration times, I
decided to scrap the history* files, newfs the /var/spool/news and start
again(of course I had to recover from a boot disk failure as well!); I
assumed my problems stem from a corrupted history database.
Anyway, my news spool still fills up. I've set alt.binaries.* to expire in
three days, however, there are definitely articles in the alt.binaries that
are five days old.
The expire.ctl is as follows :
/remember/:14
#
# use expire to remove deleted newsgroups immediately
#
*:A:0:0:0
*:U:0:7:31
*:M:0:14:365
# keep for 7 days
*:A:1:7:7
## keep the binaries newsgroups for 3 days only
#
alt.binaries.*:A:1:3:3
Any sugestions are appreciated.
TIA
