These files are handled through syslog.
But inn directly creates some more log files, not handled by rpm
package now:

# lsof | grep /var/log/news
innd       5582   news    2w      REG        3,1        0    8401144 /var/log/news/errlog
syslog-ng  7014   root   11w      REG        3,1    39176    9612435 /var/log/news/news.notice
syslog-ng  7014   root   21w      REG        3,1     9850    9618089 /var/log/news/news.crit

# LC_ALL=C rpm -qf /var/log/news/*
file /var/log/news/errlog is not owned by any package
file /var/log/news/expire.list is not owned by any package
file /var/log/news/expire.log is not owned by any package
file /var/log/news/news is not owned by any package
inn-2.4.2-1.athlon
inn-2.4.2-1.athlon
inn-2.4.2-1.athlon
file /var/log/news/unwanted.log is not owned by any package

BTW: is it INN (2.4.2) or syslog-ng (1.9.9) fault to write non-critical
messages to news.crit, like these?

Mar 25 16:38:05 machine nnrpd[304]: Reading access from /etc/news/readers.conf
Mar 25 16:38:05 machine nnrpd[304]: Auth strategy 'localhost' does not match client.  Removing.
Mar 25 16:38:05 machine nnrpd[304]: machine.domain res <localnet>
Mar 25 16:38:05 machine nnrpd[304]: machine.domain match_user <localnet> <localnet>

innwatch annoys me each time I run slrn.
It happens since syslog-ng upgrade to 1.9.9.
