I'm trying to set up a low-volume, low-usage (maybe 1 user) news feed
at a Eunice site.  I only got 2.10.3 running on my site with some difficulty.  
I have no desire to SA the Eunice site as well.

Eunice comes with "news(1)", a Bill Joy-written variant of msgs,
that looks like it can handle a limited amount of news traffic with
less flexibility.  I can't find reference to it in any of my 4.1 or 4.2
manuals, but their are some mock aliases in /usr/lib/aliases.

If I wanted to feed, say, 4 or 5 newsgroups via uucp mail, would
this news(1) do the job?  If so, how?

Alternately, how hard is it to run 2.10.3 netnews on Eunice?
