Modify the files as necessary to meet your requirement. Unfortunately, it is a little harder to install and configure than Cnews. Novices to Linux should probably stick with Cnews at the beginning until they gain more experience. Installation is a little more complex than with Cnews, but following the documentation helps. INN is very particular about its file permissions, so make sure you set them properly.
Configuration is a matter of making sure all of the site information is correct.
Once correctly installed and configured, though, INN requires virtually no maintenance. Newsreaders Many newsreaders are available for Linux. A newsreader presents the messages in a newsgroup and lets you step through them or reply to them, as well as create new messages. Some of the most popular newsreaders are tin, trn, and rtin. Choosing a newsreader is essentially a personal choice.
