As you have loads of space in /usr why not move the /var/spool/news to something
like /usr/local/news (mv /var/spool/news /usr/local/news) then make a softlink
from the old /var/spool/news to the new /usr/local/news (ln -s /var/spool/news 
/usr/local/news)

All the above has to be done as root and then chown'd to news.news
(cd /usr/local; chown -R news.news news)

If you start running out of space in /usr then you could try expiring
the news earlier. Just edit /etc/leafnode/config.


Hope the above helps
