The newsxd program is a configurable daemon for controlling the
transmission of netnews.  It allows the definition of multiple
categories of service, by setting a number of parameters defining
things such as how often news is to be transmitted, the number of news
transmitters that can be active at one time, the maximum time a
transmitter may spend sending netnews to a single host, and the maximum
system load at which netnews transmitters may be started.  newsxd can
also be used to start up other programs which must be restarted upon
exit, or which must be run at regular intervals with greater
granularity than cron(8) allows.

                       newsxd Installation

To compile newsxd, you need to do the following things:

1) Edit newsxd.h, and make any changes necessary to the default
   locations for the newsxd data files.  Also select whether you want to
   have newsxd log to syslog or to it's own log file.

2) Edit the Makefile and define the correct locations to store newsxd
   and it's manpage on your system.

3) make depend

4) make install

5) Create a newsxd.conf file and install it in the appropriate location
   (the default is /usr/local/etc/newsxd.conf).  Sample configuration files
   are included as complex.conf and simple.conf.

6) Turn off any nntpxmit's, sendbatch's, etc. so they don't conflict with
   the ones started by newsxd.

7) Run newsxd
