A slightly better method is to set \fItin\fP setuid news and have all index
|
|
files created and updated in the news spool directory
|
|
! (i.e., \fI/var/spool/news/.news\fP). This has the advantage that there will
|
|
only be one copy of the index files on each machine on your network, but the

disadvantage is that you will have \fItin\fP running setuid news.

A better method is to install the \fItind\fP index file updating daemon and

have it create and update index files for all groups in your active file at

regular intervals in the news spool directory

\fItin\fP must not be setuid news, but the disadvantage is that you will have

to have news permissions to install \fItind\fP and root permissions to install

|
When a user starts \fItin\fP it is possible to inform them of any important
|
|
changes/information concerning the news system by displaying a message of the
|
|
day (motd) file. The motd file should be created in your news lib directory
|
|
! (i.e., \fI/usr/lib/news/motd\fP) and should have file permissions set to 0644.
|
|
The motd file will only be displayed if its contents is newer than the last
|
|
time the user started \fItin\fP. If reading news via NNTP my XMOTD patch will
|
|
have to have been applied to your NNTP server.
