       snnewgroup - create a new sn newsgroup

SYNOPSIS

       snnewgroup newsgroup [server] [port]

DESCRIPTION

       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.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       SNROOT If this is set and is not empty, the value is used in place of  /var/spool/sn,  the  default  news
              spool directory.
