snnewgroup - create a new sn newsgroup
snnewgroup newsgroup [server]
[port]
snnewgroup creates newsgroup assigning it an
upstream NNTP server of server:port. If port is not
specified, defaults to 119. If server is also not specified,
newsgroup is created as a local group which is fed only by articles
POSTed to it.
You will need to be root or own /var/spool/sn in order to add new
groups.

/var/spool/sn, the default news spool directory.

- /var/spool/sn/newsgroup/.created
- Empty file for the newsgroup creation time.
- /var/spool/sn/newsgroup/.serial

- /var/spool/sn/newsgroup/.outgoing
- If server is specified, is a symlink to
/var/spool/sn/.outgoing/server:port, which is a directory,
created if it does not already exist. If server is not specified,
no file /var/spool/sn/newsgroup/.outgoing will be created. See also
