I'm running cnews with a patchdate of 24-Mar-1991 on an H-P 9000/350
running HPUX Ver.8.02 or so.

Expire has recently been dying with the following message mailed to
root:

---
expire problems:
expire: no slash in article path `comp.un'
---

my explist looks like:
# modified version, no archiving
#
# hold onto history lines 14 days, nobody gets >90 days
/expired/                       x       14      -
/bounds/                        x       0-1-90  -

# override later defaults for some groups of note
sci.space.shuttle,rec.birds     x       7       -

# big non-tech groups held long enough for a long weekend
sci,rec,talk,soc,misc,alt,news,gnu      u       4       -

# real noise gets thrown away fast
news.groups                     x       2       -
junk,tor.news.stats             x       2       -

# throw away some technical stuff not worth archiving
comp.os.vms,comp.mail.maps      x       7       -

# default:  7 days and archive
all                             x       7       -

My active file is too large to include here, but every line with
'comp.un' in it seems to be ok.

What do I need to do so that expire can successfully complete?
