Alexis's HelpMe Pages: Linux Sysadmin Tasks: News: Subscribing your machine
to a specific newsgroup
As root run the following command:
root# su - news
Then, having just become 'news', run the following command:
news$ addgroup
If this results in an error message indicating that the command could not
be found then add the following line to .profile, exit from being 'news'
and repeat these instructions:
PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/news/maint
Assuming that when as news you now run the 'addgroup' command it results
in an error message indicating that more arguments are required, now locate
the newsgroup in the current list of available newsgroups and note the posting
flag (a single letter).
Now run the command:
news$ addgroup <name_of_newsgroup_you_wish_to_add> <posting_flag>
Next, return to being root, by exiting out of the 'su' with CTRL-D.
Finally add the the following entry to /etc/suck/sucknewsrc:
<name_of_newsgroup_you_wish_to_add> -1
