Add/Edit Directory

Use this page to edit newsgroup directories and access.

Directory
Provides a space to type the name of the directory to use for this set of newsgroups. This is a required field and cannot be the same as, or a subdirectory of, any of the directories listed in the Directory list on the Directories page.

    Home (Default) Directory
    Select this option if the directory is the home directory.

    Newsgroup Subtree
    Indicates that the named directory should be used for a specified subtree only, as specified in the Newsgroup Root box.

      Newsgroup Root
      Provides a space to type the newsgroup root, such as "comp" or "rec.bicycles."

Account Information

    User Name
    Provides a space to type your user name, if required.

    Password
    Provides a space to type your password, if required.

Access

    Allow Posting
    Select this box if you want clients to be able to post to newsgroups.

    Require Secure SSL Channel
    Select this box if you want clients to connect using secure sockets layer (SSL).

    Restrict Newsgroup Visibility
    Select this box if you want only clients with read or post permission to be able to see the newsgroups under the specified directory. Because of the overhead in processing permissions on a per-group basis, this option may cause a loss in performance.
