NAME

       active, active.times - list of active Usenet newsgroups

DESCRIPTION

       The  file  /var/lib/news/active	lists  the newsgroups that the local site receives.  Each newsgroup should be listed only once.  Each line
       specifies one group; their order in the file does not matter.  Within each newsgroup, articles are assigned unique names, which	are  mono-
       tonically increasing numbers.

       If  an article is posted to newsgroups not mentioned in this file, those newsgroups are ignored.  If no valid newsgroups are specified, the
       article is filed into the newsgroup ``junk'' and only propagated to sites that receive the ``junk'' newsgroup.

       Each line consists of four fields specified by a space:

		      name himark lomark flags

       The first field is the name of the newsgroup.  The second field is the highest article number that has been used in  that  newsgroup.   The
       third field is the lowest article number in the group; this number is not guaranteed to be accurate, and should only be taken to be a hint.
       Note that because of article cancellations, there may be gaps in the numbering sequence.  If the lowest article number is greater then  the
       highest	article  number,  then	there  are no articles in the newsgroup.  In order to make it possible to update an entry in-place without
       rewriting the entire file, the second and third fields are padded out with leading zeros to make them a fixed width.

       The fourth field can contain one of the following flags:

	      y        Local postings are allowed
	      n        No local postings are allowed, only remote ones
	      m        The group is moderated and all postings must be approved
	      j        Articles in this group are not kept, but only passed on
	      x        Articles cannot be posted to this newsgroup
	      =foo.bar Articles are locally filed into the ``foo.bar'' group

       If a newsgroup has the ``j'' flag, then no articles will be filed into that newsgroup and local postings to that group should not be gener-
       ated.   If an article for such a newsgroup is received from a remote site, it will be filed into the ``junk'' newsgroup if it is not cross-
       posted.	This is different from not having a newsgroup listed in the file because sites can subscribe to ``j'' newsgroups and  the  article
       will be propagated to them.

       If  the	fourth	field  of a newsgroup starts with an equal sign, then the newsgroup is an alias.  Articles can be posted to the group, but
       will be treated as if they were posted to the group named after the equal sign.	The second and third fields are ignored.   Note  that  the
       Newsgroup  header  is  not  modified  (Alias groups are typically used during a transition, and are typically created with ctlinnd(8)).	An
       alias newsgroup should not point to another alias.

       The file /var/lib/news/active.times provides a chronological record of when newsgroups are created.   This  file  is  normally  updated	by
       innd(8) whenever a ctlinnd ``newgroup'' command is done.  Each line consist of three fields:

	      name time creator

       The  first  field  is the name of the newsgroup.  The second field is the time it was created, expressed as the number of seconds since the
       epoch -- i.e., a time_t; see gettimeofday(2).  The third field is the electronic mail address of the person who created the group.
