It sounds OK to me.

Is it all right to put the result at the beginning of the daily Usenet mail
report?

    inncheck -a -pedantic

should be enough.  Permissions checking could be wrong (if owned by other groups,
like uucp).


There is also #70 to deal with:

"I wish it was easier to spot in the news.daily report that the expire didn't
work because I buggered up the expire.ctl file.  Ideally, information like errors
should be right at the top of the file, not way down below the boring stuff
about how many articles I sent to eachone of my peers and the like."


However, I do not see well how to find out errors during expire.  They are just
written in the expire part.  Should we "grep -v" known lines and put the result
at the beginning of the report?
