news administrator information Some sites maintain their active file (list of accepted newsgroups) by synching from neighbor sites or from well known lists such as the one available from the ISC FTP site. Other sites maintain the active file by accepting control messages. Here is the information needed to accept control messages for the netscape.* hierarchy. If your news server verifies PGP signed control messages, you should add this to the key ring:
