the command <em>load/forward</em> or restart Spider for the changes to
take effect.
+<sect1>How can I automatically limit the amount of debug logfiles that are stored?
+
+<P>
+Use the tmpwatch command. Create a file in /etc/cron.daily/ containing the line ...
+
+<tscreen><verb>
+/usr/sbin/tmpwatch -f 240 /spider/data/debug
+</verb></tscreen>
+
+Remember to make it executable!
+
+This will limit your debug data down to the last 10 days
+
+<sect1>I updated my Linux distribution and now Spider cannot read the users file or the dupefile, what is the problem?
+
+<P>
+Almost certainly this is a change in the db format of perl. Follow these
+few steps to correct the problem.
+
+<itemize>
+<item>stop the cluster (disable any autostart in inittab)
+<item>cd /spider/data
+<item>issue the command perl user_asc
+<item>restart the cluster
+</itemize>
+
+That should solve the problem.
