news again

[Doug]

Most of the news howto explains setting up a whole
local news service (NNTP server).

Trn looks decent:
http://trn.sourceforge.net/

Check these out:

http://support.uchicago.edu/docs/unix/trn/

Binaries of trn are available for slackware and redhat
(and probably every other major linux distro).

But as usual there are many choices

Each reader should allow you to specify the nntp
server somewhere in its config, look for that and
set it up for the public nntp server that you found.
