Last week someone sent out a newgroup message in which the group was missing. C news obligingly created an entry in the active file 000000000 000000000 y (I didn't count the number of zeros). expire complains that there is a group with a bad name, and I've been getting these messages by mail for a few days. Then I started to get messages that the disk was full. Is it possible that when expire finds a line like this that it quits? If so, I think that either creation of groups that expire can't handle should be disallowed, or expire should just skip bad groups and continue. -- /|/-\/-\ The entire world Jerusalem |__/__/_/ is a very strange gauze pad. |warren@ But the Kibo / nysernet.org is hungry.
