snnewgroup newsgroup [server] [port]

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.

SNROOT

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

/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.
