11.7 News system configuration
==============================

All the configuration files related to the NNTP (news) servers and
clients should be located under ‘/etc/news’.

There are some configuration issues that apply to a number of news
clients and server packages on the machine.  These are:

‘/etc/news/organization’

     A string which should appear as the organization header for all
     messages posted by NNTP clients on the machine

‘/etc/news/server’

     Contains the FQDN of the upstream NNTP server, or localhost if the
     local machine is an NNTP server.

Other global files may be added as required for cross-package news
configuration.
