This is what I do:

  news@betelgeuse$ pwd
  /usr/local/news/db
  news@betelgeuse$ perl -ne '($a,$b,$_) = split "\t"; print if $_' history > 
/tmp/list
  news@betelgeuse$ wc -l /tmp/list
     4822 /tmp/list
  news@betelgeuse$

This last thing is weird, there should be a lot more than just those
4.800 articles.

Then I do:

  news@betelgeuse$ /usr/src/inn-CURRENT-20030316/contrib/respool < /tmp/list

When I tried this yesterday, nothing seemed to happen. No error, almost
no additional load, just nothing. This I do get loads of errors:

  /usr/src/inn-CURRENT-20030316/contrib/respool: cant store article:bogus Xref: 
header
  /usr/src/inn-CURRENT-20030316/contrib/respool: cant store article:bogus Xref: 
header
  /usr/src/inn-CURRENT-20030316/contrib/respool: cant store article:bogus Xref: 
header
  [etc]

You are suggesting to leave them in the CNFS spool, right? How do
readers access them if you run tradspool for all new articles and have
the older ones in a CNFS spool?

Then I'm left one error I think I know what it means, but don't know
how to avoid it:

  May 24 03:30:33 betelgeuse expireover[26520]: SM could not find token type or 
method was not initialized (3)

The "3" at the end is refering to the CFNS spooltype, right? Anmd this
is propabably because I have ran CNFS?
