What is needed in order to run nntp? How does nntp connect to other news servers? Where do you define the news groups that the server would subscribe to? Any pointers or suggested configuration?

I think cnews is still the standard server software, but there are a bunch of alternatives that might be easier for a small installation. -- Lowell Gilbert, embedded/networking software engineer, Boston area http://be-well.ilk.org/~lowell/
