The Internet News daemon (INN) is arguably the most popular Netnews
server in use today. INN is extremely flexible and is suitable for all
but the smallest news sites.[1] INN scales well and is suited to large news server
configurations.
The INN server comprises a number of components, each with their own
configuration files that we will discuss in turn. Configuration of INN
can be a little involved, but we'll describe each of the stages in this
chapter and arm you with enough information to make
sense of the INN manual pages and documentation and build configurations for
just about any application.
