Help!  I'm trying to set up news on my machine.  Whenever a new user
runs rn, he is given an exhaustive list of newsgroups (most of which
we don't even carry) to subscribe to.  Now, I don't think this is the
way it's supposed to work.  Shouldn't the user be prompted to subscribe
only to those groups which are carried on my machine?  If so, how do
I configure things?  The appropriate page# and name of the document would
be a great help.  Another, related question:  Even though we don't subscribe
to the newsgroup  comp.unix.xenix, will my users be able to post to it?

Thanks,
  David Brown
