The news server lost its system hard disk during the week-end (and, of
course, I was trying to take a small vacation away from home at that
time).

I could only restart it this evening, with some tinkering.  Expect some
small disruptions for the service while I try to put everything back on
track...

Sorry for the inconvenience !
