NAME
       subscriptions - Default recommended subscriptions

DESCRIPTION
       The pathetc/subscriptions file contains a list of newsgroups that is
       returned by the NNTP command LIST SUBSCRIPTIONS.

       Clients that support this command and send it the first time they con‐
       nect to a new news server use the returned list to initialize the list
       of subscribed newsgroups.  The subscriptions file therefore should con‐
       tain groups intented for new users, for testing, or that contain FAQs
       and other useful information for first-time Usenet users.

       The syntax of the subscriptions file is trivial; it is a simple list of
       newsgroup names, one per line.  The order of newsgroups may be signifi‐
       cant; the news reading client may present the groups in that order to
       the user.

EXAMPLE
       A typical subscriptions file may look like:

	   news.announce.newusers
	   news.newusers.questions
	   local.test
	   local.general
	   local.talk
	   misc.test
	   misc.test.moderated
	   news.answers
	   news.announce.newgroups

       This gives the client the FAQs and question newsgroup for new users
       first, then a local newsgroup for testing and various commonly-read
       local discussion groups, followed by the world-wide test groups, all
       the FAQs, and announcements of new world-wide newsgroups.  If there is
       a local new users group, one might want to list it first.
