Newsgroup management
* Add groups

This will create a non-moderated ("y") group. Moderated groups are created witn "m" flag.

+BEGIN_SRC shell

/usr/libexec/news/ctlinnd newgroup myusenet.news.notifications y admin

+END_SRC

After that check if your group were added with the command explained in Section [[*List groups][List groups]].

* List groups

Check newsgroups and messages with:

: /usr/libexec/news/getlist

In some systems, =getlist= would not work and the port and host must be provided.

The default value of host is to use the =server= value in =inn.conf=, or to use the NNTPSERVER environment variable. The host configured in those values may not resolve to an IP. In this case, is preferable to change the =pathhost= and =server= values to the domain name of the server, or to add the server name to =/etc/hosts= Nevertheless, =getlist= can be executed with the following parameters to specify the server IP address and port:

: /usr/libexec/news/getlist -h 127.0.0.1 -p 119

User management

The users and password are checked by =ckpasswd= as specified in =/etc/news/readers.conf=. Usually, the =ckpasswd= progra use the file =/var/lib/news/newsusers= as parameter. This file has a simple format. Each line use the following syntax: =USERNAME:HASHED-PASSWORD=.

* Add users

The Apache =htpasswd= program can be used to generate and update the newsuser file.

+BEGIN_SRC shell

htpasswd -d /var/lib/newsusers USERNAME

+END_SRC

Ensure the =-d= parameter is specified, because it indicates to use the crypt encryption for passwords. Password is requested if not provided as parameter.
