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.
