Hi there,
I liked to use the feature described in the tin manual, to make a file
/usr/lib/news/subscriptions. This makes aa automaticall subscription of
some newsgroups to new users of tin.
But how is the format in that file? We use NNTP, but I didn't find 
any NNTP LIST SUBSCRIPTIONS patch. 

Who to shoe the human newsreaders using tin, that there is one or more
new newsgroups?

Thanks in advance

The format is simple.   One newsgroup name per line.   i.e.,
ours looks like this:

news.newusers.questions
news.announce.newusers
news.answers
news.announce.important
news.groups		
news.lists
news.misc
comp.unix.ultrix
