Speaking of moving /usr/spool/news and such. We  experienced  the
problem  of  /usr/spool  being  on  a  different file system than
/usr/lib/uucp causing UUCP to fail because it tried to link files
from /usr/spool/uucp to /usr/lib/uucp/.XQTDIR. (/usr/lib/uucp was
on the root FS which was full.)

The cheap fix (and only one if you don't have source) is to patch
uuxqt  (in  /usr/lib/uucp) replacing '/usr/lib/uucp/.XQTDIR' with
'/usr/spool/uucp/.XQTD' in  the  several  places  it  occurs  and
creating said directory mode 777.

Strings can be useful in finding these occurrences. I can provide
a program for patching.
