 +Continued to work on basic configuration.
 +
 +In particular the readers.conf file to allow only authorized users to access the server.  ​
 +
 +1.)  configured the /​etc/​news/​readers.conf file.  See contents for changes.
 +2.)  created a newsusers file (see /​etc/​news/​readers.com) for location.
 +3.)  Prepared a script in my bin directory to add entries (users:​password) to the newsusers file.
 +4.)  Ran a test from home using forte agent. All post/​read/​overview features work great!
 +5.)  Uploaded a binary image (Apple.png) - all worked great up, retrieved and the image looked great.
 +6.)  Tried invalid passwords, blocked as expected.
 +
 +Created new groups with:
 +root@bud:~
 +# /​usr/​lib/​news/​bin/​ctlinnd newgroup local.sluug.discuss
 +# /​usr/​lib/​news/​bin/​ctlinnd newgroup local.sluug.steercom
 +# /​usr/​lib/​news/​bin/​ctlinnd newgroup local.sluug.sysadmin
 +
 +edit /​var/​lib/​news/​newsgroups to add descriptions.
 +
 +Did a connect via rtin and agent. ​ Look good.
 +
 +Ready for users to connect.  ​
 +
 +Suck is available via zyypr, installed and did a quick check. ​ (see log)
 +
 +Looks like we need a newserver! ​ Need to talk with steercom on this. We are going to need a generic email to get a free feed for 30days.
