Subject: 0.1 Introduction
With the recent explosion of usenet throughout the world many hierarchies
outside the traditional "Big 8" (comp, soc, misc, news, rec, humanities,
sci & talk) have been created. These range from regional to special
interest. This FAQ is intended to document some information about these
hierarchies and enable News-Administrators to ensure they are carrying the
correct groups for each one.
Central to this FAQ is a sample "control.ctl" file used by the INN
news-server to add and delete groups.
Another important source of information is Lewis Eisen's
"Master List of Newsgroup Hierarchies" which is available from:
http://www.magmacom.com/~leisen/master_list.html
Please remember that this FAQ is an "in progress" document. Several
sections need re-writing and updating. Contributions and corrections are
very welcome.
This FAQ is now available on the Web at:
http://www.faqs.org/faqs/usenet/hierarchies-config

Subject: 0.2 Recent Changes to this FAQ.
A diff of the changes to the sample control.ctl is posted to
news.admin.hierarchies at the same time this FAQ is posted.
General
-------
- Finally got an update out. I staill have a dozen of so hierarchies to check
but I'll get this out the door now and work on the updates.
------------------------------------
Subject: 2.0 Sample moderators file.
The moderators file is used by the INN news-server program to determine
where to send moderated posts from you site.
Almost all groups are mirrored to the moderators.isc.org alias but I
have listed the original sites as updates may be a little slow there.
Due to various problems people are having with this address I have
only kept it as an option, YMMV.
This default example has all the "original sites" commented out, you
should be aware of problems that will result for your users if one of
these sites crashes. If at all possible the moderators.isc.org alias
should be used for all hierarchies and groups that are not listed
there should forward their information to moderators-request@isc.org

Subject: 3.0 Keeping your newsgroups (active file) up to date.
Each Usenet site needs to keep a different list of newsgroups, Large
ISPs try to carry as many groups as possible in order to satisfy all
their customers. In contrast some companies may carry only a couple of
groups directly relevant to their business.
If your site is running INN (the most popular and mature of the
current Usenet News Servers) the list of what groups your site is
aware of is contained in the "active" file. Note that this may not
correspond with what groups are feed to it by other sites, for example
I have 3500 groups listed in my active file but I am only fed about a
hundred.
One of the problems that many News Admins face is keeping their active
file up to date. If your active file is out of sync with what is
generally accepted then you face the risk that your users may miss
articles that are posted to groups you do not carry. Alternatively
your users may post to a group that most sites don't have or post to
the wrong group as they unable to find the correct one.
However with over 30,000 newsgroups in existence and dozens being added
or deleted each day it is difficult and time consuming to manually
process every newgroup and rmgroup message that arrives at your site.
One option is to pick a site that you trust and grab their active file
at regular intervals, syncing your site to theirs each time (with the
odd differences like local groups).
In v1.5 and greater of INN the programs actsync and actsyncd can be
used to sycronize your active file with another sites file.
If people are interested I will look at adding useful config files for
these commands as well to this FAQ (suggestions and feedback encouraged).
----------------------------------------------
Subject: 3.1 PGP authentication of newgroup and rmgroup messages
[ This piece is culled from the file written by David Lawrence, see
the cited URL for the full text ]
Usenet articles are notoriously easy to forge, and control messages
are no exception. Since administrators often want to have their news
systems automatically honor requests from some particular people to
add or remove newsgroups, it is risky to trust the From: and Sender:
headers to identify the real sender of a message, as has historically
been done.
Thus a system using Philip Zimmerman's Pretty Good Privacy(tm) (PGP
(tm)) was developed to provide a more secure means of authenticating
the sender of a control message.
Unlike traditional PGP authentication of messages, which just verifies
that the contents of the body of a message are unchanged from when it
was digitally "signed", this system also needed to sign a few headers
of the control message to verify the action to be taken and to guard
against certain other pitfalls. Another goal was to make the signature
as unobtrusive as possible and require minimal changes to existing
software in order to work.
For further Information see:
ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/pgpcontrol/README
------------------------------------
Subject: 3.2 Sample control.ctl file.
Below is a sample control.ctl, this is used by the INN newsserver to decide
how to respond to control messages that effect newsgroups (rather than simple
message cancels).
For an explanation on what the commands to consult the man page for
'control.ctl' and also the explanation at the start of the file on
your own system.
I have presented this in the format used by INN since it is the most
popular newsserver and sites running it can easily cut-and-paste this
into their configuration. If anyone has a simple way to convert this file
to alternative formats I will be happy to include a pointer.
## control.ctl File - Last updated: 15 Jun 1999
## Maintained by Simon Lyall
## control.ctl - access control for control messages
## Format:
## :::
## The last match found is used.
## Control message or "all" if it applies
## to all control messages.
## Pattern that must match the From line.
## Pattern that must match the newsgroup being
## newgroup'd or rmgroup'd (ignored for other messages).
## What to do:
## doit Perform action (usually sends mail too)
## doifarg Do if command has an arg (see sendsys)
## doit=xxx Do action; log to xxx (see below)
## drop Ignore message
## log One line to error log
## log=xxx Log to xxx (see below)
## mail Send mail to admin
## verify-pgp_userid Do PGP verification on user.
## verify-pgp_userid=logfile PGP verify and log.
## xxx=mail to mail; xxx= (empty) to toss; xxx=/full/path
## to log to /full/path; xxx=foo to log to ${LOG}/foo.log
##
## The defaults have changed.
##
## Firstly. Most things that caused mail in the past no longer do. This is
## due to proliferation of forged control messages filling up mailboxes.
##
## Secondly, the assumption now is that you have pgp on your system. If you
## don't, then you should get it to help protect youself against all the
## looser control message forgers. If you can't use pgp, then you'll have
## to fix some sections here. Search for *PGP*. At each "*PGP*" found
## you'll need to comment out the block of lines right after it (that have
## 'verify-' in their 4th field). Then uncomment the block of lines that
## comes right after that. You'll also need to change WANT_PGPVERIFY in
## config.data.
##
## For more information on using PGP to varify control messages, upgrade
## to INN-1.5 (or later) or see: ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/pgpcontrol/

##
## A number of hierarchies are for local use only but have leaked out into
## the general stream. In this config file the are set so they are easy to
## remove and will not be added by sites. Please delete them if you
## carry them. If you wish to carry them please contact the address given to
## arrange a feed.
##
## The following hierachies are listed in this file as "local only",
## "defunct" or "private" . If you carry these hierarchies you should
## change the entry listed.
