There is no good excuse for having .newsrc* in ~ in the 1st place.

mkdir ~/.private
chmod 700 ~/.private	# or, under AFS, "fs sa ~/.private -clear you rlidkwa"
mv ~/.newsrc* ~/.private
(setq gnus-startup-file "~/.private/.newsrc"
      mail-archive-file-name "~/.private/.outgoing"
      gnus-author-copy "~/.private/.news")

Embellish to taste.
