Modify the news sys files on each machine to accept and forward su.* to
all of your machines, but not to any outside machines.  The following would
be an example:

	megad:net,fa,mod,na,usa,to,su,::
	megada:net,fa,mod,na,usa,to,su:F:/usr/spool/batch/megada
	megadb:net,fa,mod,na,usa,to,su:F:/usr/spool/batch/megadb
	outside:net,fa,mod,na,usa,to:F:/usr/spool/batch/outside
