Subject: (6.17) Add local newsgroups?


Q: Does anyone have a cookbook example on how to create a local news group?

These are the steps ..

1) Make sure your innd is running
2) Add the group with: ctlinnd newgroup local.group
3) Add entries to newsfeeds to restrict the local groups to your
organization:
	ME:!local.*::

	out.going.site:*,!local.*:Tf,Wnm:
4) Add a descriptive entry to newsgroups
5) Ready :)

Please consider, that local is a very common name for local groups, so
if a user crossposts to local.test and misc.test the article will show
up in all local.test over the world. So please choose a 'better' name.

(Corrections, notes, and links by Mib Software)

Most sites choose a top level newsgroup name based on their organization name or company name. Creating a local test group is highly recommended.

ctlinnd will tell you if you innd is not running or throttled.
