Is anyone out there running a full newsfeed on a FREEBSD 2.0R system w/ 
Inn1.4sec ?
Some problems that Im having are that the feed runs GREAT all day long, 
and then around 2:30am, when my news.daily runs, the Virt Memory system 
fills up, and the kernal starts to kill processes.  This happens, I would 
imagine, because news.daily takes up so much processor time, and takes up 
a lot of the innd time.

I tried expiring every hour to even out some of the processor time, but 
this seems to not make a difference.

Is there a way to differ processing of the incomming feed during 
news.daily? like maybe stick everything in /var/spool/news/in.coming so 
that rnews -U will process them as the last command of news.daily.

Next problem is that InnWatch is not working, I get a real strange error 
like "[: Unknown syntax ... "

I've read the FAQ and it seems there is no info on my questions.  Thanks 
for any help!
