Deleting all old postings

[Julien ÉLIE]

Hi Brad,

> Is there an easy way to delete ALL old postings from the database?

Removing the history file, the overview and the spool (which would imply
zeroing CNFS buffers, if used, I assume).  Then running makehistory -O
to recreate them should do the trick.

However,

    /remember/:0
    *:0:0:0

in expire.ctl and running "news.daily expireover lowmark" would be proper
but I do not know whether it accepts "0" and if it would work as expected.


Any other better ideas?
