Searching for Information On Newsgroups, in the Application Installation & Compatibility forum on BrianMadden.com

Hi folks!

I'm installing a very small news- and email system at my local
university (peolpe there are studying arts, so there's no one to help
me with this). I set up one computer with Linux 2.0.29 which is
permanently connected to the 'internet' via ethernet. Then I want to
connect a second PC which is installed in the hallway via
nullmodem-cable for all the students to write and receive eMail. But
the problem now is, that the provider (another part of the university)
doesn't give us access to the newsgroups, so I want to set up at least
some local newsgroups on this Linux-station.

But I just can't seem to find any documentation explaining how to set
up local newsgroups. smtpd and nntpd are running, but the manpages
won't tell anything about how to set up ng's (forgive me if I'm just
too blind or stupid to find the obvious source of information).

So I don't want to bother you explaining me how to accomplish this
task, but perhaps someone can at least tell me where to find the
desired information.
