- @@@STARTPACK(inn;InterNetNews Programs)

- <P>
- InterNetNews is a complete Usenet system. The cornerstone of the package
- is innd, an NNTP server that multiplexes all I/O. Think of it as an nntpd
- merged with the B News inews, or as a C News relaynews that reads multiple
- NNTP streams. Newsreading is handled by a separate server, nnrpd, that is
- spawned for each client. Both innd and nnrpd have some slight variances
- from the NNTP protocol (although in normal use you will never notice); see
- the manpages. INN separates hosts that feed you news from those that have
- users reading news. If you need to support a mixed environment you will have
- to do some extra work; the installation manual gives some hints.
- <P>
- This is the public release of version 2.0 of InterNet News. This
- work is sponsored by the Internet Software Consortium.

- <B>Note:</B> The installation of the INN package creates a user "news"
- and group "news".
