Summary

Setting up a news server is a very complicated task, one that should be avoided for most organizations in which only a few users need to access news. (In this case, get access to your ISP's server if you can.) If, however, you decide that you want to go ahead and build your own news server, the InterNetNews (INN) package comes ready-to-use with Red Hat Linux. If you are a news-server administrator, the most important file for you to configure is the inn.conf file (located in the /etc/news directory). Many of the basic INN options are set up in that file. You also need to configure which hosts you get your news feed from and which hosts you feed your users' article to.
