  Hello,

  How does one expires newsgroups in a SUN NFS environment?

  Due to space restriction, I had to move all news software and news
  articles to another slave server and mount the news partition onto
  the master server. I have no problems getting news
  from my feed, but the problem occurs when I try to expire news.

  News articles don't seem to expire on both the master server OR
  the slave server which contains all news articles.

  A typical command that I used was something like this:

    /news/lib/expire  -v -e 5 -n comp.os.vms   ...etc..

  Any idea what went wrong ?
