INN:
if [ -d /var/spool/news ] && [ ! -d /var/news ]
then
NEWSDIR=/var/spool/news
else
NEWSDIR=/var/news
fi
CNEWS:
+ newsarts="/var/news"
So I guess it is /var/news. Personnally I use /news. Go figure :-)
For both INN and CNEWS, it would be nice to put Overview data outside the
news spool (i.e. in /var/news/over.view instead of /var/news) as it will
speed up reading overview data (look in the INN FAQ).

Don't remember.

Dunno.
