I use version 0.3.6. I don't think i'm using any script. People connecting
through the inetd service end up calling /usr/sbin/snntpd with
"POSTING_OK=1" in the environment. I used snewgroup to create one that is
now sitting in /var/spool/news/foo.bar. It's currently live on the net if
you wish to try to post and see, at news://laurent.ca/foo.bar
