Package inn
The InterNetNews system, an Usenet news server
https://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/inn/
INN (InterNetNews) is a complete system for serving Usenet news and/or
private newsfeeds. INN includes innd, an NNTP (NetNews Transfer Protocol)
server, and nnrpd, a news server that handles connections from news
readers.
Install the inn package if you need a complete system for posting,
injecting, relaying and serving Usenet news. You may also need to
install inn-devel, if you are going to use a separate program which
interfaces to INN, like newsgate or tin.
Version: 2.7.2
See also: inn-devel.
