"What do I do after a system crash?"

INN handles crashes pretty well.  If there are any problems they
get cleaned up by the nightly expire.  About once a month you
might want to run "makehistory -buv" to look for "lost" articles.
Check the man page for "makehistory" for more information.
(The man page for "makehistory" is in the news-recovery man
page until INN 1.4). 
The manpage is a little unclear about the '-n' flag. If used alone 
(e.g. makehistory -n) it does not rebuild the dbz files. But if used 
in conjunction with -bu (e.g. makehistory -bunv) it does not pause 
the server.
