@@@STARTPACK(inn;InterNetNews Programs)
<P>
InterNetNews is a complete Usenet system. The cornerstone of the package
is innd, an NNTP server that multiplexes all I/O. Think of it as an nntpd
merged with the B News inews, or as a C News relaynews that reads multiple
NNTP streams. Newsreading is handled by a separate server, nnrpd, that is
spawned for each client. Both innd and nnrpd have some slight variances
from the NNTP protocol (although in normal use you will never notice); see
the manpages. INN separates hosts that feed you news from those that have
users reading news. If you need to support a mixed environment you will have
to do some extra work; the installation manual gives some hints.
<P>
This is the public release of version 2.0 of InterNet News. This
work is sponsored by the Internet Software Consortium.

<P>
<B>Note:</B> The installation of the INN package creates a user "news"
and group "news".
