Do we need to rebuild history/overview database after all articles get
xfered to new server ?

Could we just test a single newsgroup migration using this method before
migrating all newsgroups articles to verify.Seems this would build list
of all news articles on the news server to be xfered.

     cd pathdb
     perl -ne 'chomp; ($a,$b,$_) = split " "; print "$_\n" if $_' history \
         | tr . / > pathoutgoing/list


thanks for your help.
