well, you can always symlink /var/spool/news to /home/spool/news or some
such. /var/spool/news is a VERY standard place to put a news spool
(imagine!) and moving it without some symbolic link, will probably break
SOMETHING.
I'll send my inn configs via private mail - I am sure nobody on the list
REALLY wants to see them ;)
one last note: once we had INN set up, and had tweaked the configs so as
not to overflow our disks, I RARELY EVER have to even log in to the
machine. Linux of course, just keeps on working, and INN seems to handle
itself very nicely.
We have it running on an old p75, with about 80 meg of memory, and about
7.5G total in 3 SCSI drives, md RAID5'ed together for the spool. Its slow,
but it is reliable.
