newsetup - a program to set up a .newsrc file

newsetup

The newsetup program creates a new .newsrc file containing all of the currently active newsgroups. It tries to put them in a reasonable order, i.e. local newsgroups earlier, but you'll probably want to change the ordering anyway (if you use rn) in order to put interesting newsgroups first. If you already have a .newsrc, it will be backed up with the name ".oldnewsrc".

Where to put your .newsrc, if not in your home directory.

Default: $HOME

Your home directory.

Default: $LOGDIR

Your home directory if HOME is undefined.

/usr/lib/news/active or a reasonable facsimile
${DOTDIR-{$HOME-$LOGDIR}}/.newsrc

rn(1), newsrc(5)
