If you are running expire with the -a option from crontab, you have to log in as root if you want to run expire and archive something because the oldnews directory structure all belongs to root. All I did was chown everything in oldnews to the news account and make expire SETUID, since the spool directories should belong to it anyway. -- >From the dungeons of the Warlock: Chuck Von Rospach ucbvax!amd70!packet!cfv (chuqui@mit-mc) <- obsolete!
