NAME

snnewgroup - create a new sn newsgroup

SYNOPSIS

snnewgroup newsgroup [server] [port]

DESCRIPTION

snnewgroup creates newsgroup assigning it an upstream NNTP server of server:port. If port is not specified, defaults to 119. If server is also not specified, newsgroup is created as a local group which is fed only by articles POSTed to it.

You will need to be root or own /var/spool/sn in order to add new groups.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

SNROOT: If this is set and is not empty, the value is used in place of /var/spool/sn, the default news spool directory.

FILES CREATED

/var/spool/sn/newsgroup: Directory where articles will be stored.
/var/spool/sn/newsgroup/.created: Empty file for the newsgroup creation time.
/var/spool/sn/newsgroup/.serial: Where snget gets its idea of the new starting serial number for newsgroup on server server:port. The value is initialized to 0.
/var/spool/sn/newsgroup/.outgoing: If server is specified, is a symlink to /var/spool/sn/.outgoing/server:port, which is a directory, created if it does not already exist. If server is not specified, no file /var/spool/sn/newsgroup/.outgoing will be created. See also snsend.
