Don't think about entities defined with `defvoo' as variables.  They
aren't.  They are elements in the server object and have to be treated
as such.

You can define several servers (type ^ from the *Group* buffer to go
to the servers buffer).  You can edit the server parameters.  I'm
pretty sure that nndraft-directory is a server parameter for nndraft
servers.  I'm also pretty sure that you can use
nntp-server-opened-hook as server parameter, too.

(setq gnus-server-alist 
      '(("stardiv" nntp "stardiv"
                   (nntp-address "charly")
                   (nntp-open-connection-function nntp-open-rlogin)
                   (nntp-end-of-line "\n")
                   (nntp-rlogin-parameters
                    ("telnet" "-8" "starnews.stardiv.de" "nntp")))))

Well, it might not be documented, but maybe you'll find the relevant
section in .newsrc.eld and can edit it there.

Whatcha think?

You can only edit "closed" servers.  You might want to try to close
the server first.
