(5.3) log file fills with " 436 No space"

innd issues this message if it cannot create a directory for a group,
_no matter what the reason for the failure_.  In most cases,
/usr/spool/news (and the mount point it is symlinked to, if any)
accidentally has permissions and ownerships that do not permit write
access by innd (which runs as "news").  After chowning them to news,
and setting the permissions to 755, everything should work fine.
