16 SUMMARY:
17
18 Subscribe or unsubscribe to Usenet newsgroups.
19
20 DESCRIPTION:
21
22
23 These commands allow individuals to select the newsgroups they
24 are able to read with READNEWS. The complete list of newsgroups
25 the system receives is in the file /DD/SYS/UUCP/active.
26
27 SUBSCRIBE allows the user to subscribe to one or more of the
28 newsgroups the system receives. If the newsgroup name is 'all',
29 the user is subscribed to all the newsgroups listed in the active
30 file. The file 'newsrc' (.newsrc under OSK) in the user's home
31 directory is updated to reflect the changes.
32
33 UNSUBSCRIBE allows the user to unsubscribe from one or more of
34 the newsgroups the system receives. If the newsgroup name is
35 'all', the user is unsubscribed from all the newsgroups listed in
36 the active file. The file 'newsrc' (.newsrc under OSK) in the
37 user's home directory is updated to reflect the changes.
38
39 Neither SUBSCRIBE nor UNSUBSCRIBE affect the newsfeed the system
40 gets. For example, if the newsfeed does not normally include the
41 rec.foods.sourdough newgroups using SUBSCRIBE is meaningless.
42 Similarly, UNSUBSCRIBE does not remove that newsgroup from the
43 systems newsfeed. To make such changes, the system administrator
44 must contact his/her feed's system admininstrator.
