newsetup - a program to set up a .newsrc file |
|
newsetup |
|
The newsetup program creates a new .newsrc file containing an list of recommended newsgroups for the first time user. If your news admin has specified such a list (usually in the file NEWSLIB/subscriptions) trn will use that as a default for your .newsrc. Otherwise you get a ridiculously small list that you’ll want to add to using the "a pattern" command in trn (such as "a linux"). If you already have a .newsrc, it will be backed up with the name ".newsrc-old". |
|
DOTDIR |
Where to put your .newsrc, if not in your home directory. |
|
Default: $HOME |
|
HOME |
Your home directory. |
|
Default: $LOGDIR |
|
LOGDIR |
Your home directory if HOME is undefined. |
|
/var/lib/news/subscriptions or a reasonable facsimile |
|
trn(1), rn(1), newsrc(5) |
