Articles

On my config, articles are stored in spool. spool is only a link to /var/spool/news.

Here you will find a file with the groups list (tradspool.map) and various places where articles are stored, for example "articles", where articles are simply numbered

> ll ~news/spool/articles/
total 0
drwxrwxr-x 1 news news  12 24 déc.  19:46 control
drwxrwxr-x 1 news news  16  2 janv. 11:52 dodin
drwxrwxr-x 1 news news 156  2 janv. 07:30 fr

Logs

My system uses systemd, but have also rsyslog installed.

The configuration file is /etc/rsyslog.conf and have the required news lines commented. As root, comment them out, then:

 # systemctl restart rsyslog.service 

Common logs are in /var/log/news, relevant lines are:

> ll ~news/logs/

-rw-r--r-- 1 news news     0  2 janv. 03:00 news.crit
-rw-r--r-- 1 news news     0  2 janv. 03:00 news.err
-rw-r--r-- 1 news news     0  2 janv. 03:00 news.notice
