##  control.ctl - Access control for control messages.
##  Last modified: 2004-11-28
##
##  Based on rone's unified control.ctl file.
##
##  Please copy usenet-config@isc.org on any updates to this file so that
##  it can be updated in the INN CVS repository and on ftp.isc.org.  For
##  changes to a public hierarchy, please also post the changes to
##  news.admin.hierarchies.
##
##  The canonical version of this file can be found in the latest INN
##  release and at <ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/CONFIG/control.ctl>; these
##  two files will be kept in sync.  Please refer to the latest version of
##  this file for the most up-to-date hierarchy control information and
##  please use the latest version if you intend to carry all hierarchies.
##
##  You may wish to review and change the policy for alt.*, free.*, and
##  it-alt.* below before using this file on your server.
##
##  Format:
##     <message>:<from>:<newsgroups>:<action>
##
##     <message>      Control message or "all" if it applies to all control
##                    messages.
##     <from>         Pattern that must match the From line.
##     <newsgroups>   Pattern that must match the newsgroup being newgroup'd
##                    or rmgroup'd (ignored for other messages).
##     <action>       What to do:
##                          doit        Perform action
##                          drop        Ignore message
##                          log         One line to error log
##                          mail        Send mail to admin
##                          verify-pgp_userid   Do PGP verification on user.
##                    All actions except drop and mail can be given a log
##                    location by following the action with an = and the
##                    log ("mail" says to mail the admin, an empty location
##                    tosses the log information, and a relative path xxx
##                    logs to $LOG/xxx.log.
##
##  The *last* matching entry is used.  See the expire.ctl(5) man page for
##  complete information.
##
##  This file follows the following policies:
##
##   * Most unknown or invalid control messages no longer result in mail.
##     This is due to the proliferation of forged control messages filling
##     up mailboxes.  Some news servers even get overwhelmed with trying to
##     log failure, so unsigned control messages for hierarchies that use
##     PGP are simply dropped.
##
##   * The assumption is that you now have PGP on your system.  If you
##     don't, you should get it to help protect yourself against all the
##     control message forgeries.  See <ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/pgpcontrol/>.
##     PGP control message verification comes with all versions of INN since
##     1.5, but you will need to install either PGP or GnuPG; see the
##     installation instructions for your news server.
##
##     If for some reason you can't use PGP, search for the *PGP* comments
##     and modify the control lines to change "verify-..." in the action
##     field to "mail" or "doit=mail" or "doit=<log file>" or whatever you
##     prefer (replacing <log file> with the name of an appropriate log
##     file).
## 
##   * A number of hierarchies are for local use only but have leaked out
##     into the general stream.  In this config file, they are set so that
##     the groups will be easy to remove, and are marked with a comment of
##     *LOCAL* (for use by that organization only, not generally
##     distributed), *DEFUNCT* (a hierarchy that's no longer used), or
##     *PRIVATE* (should only be carried after making arrangements with the
##     given contact address).  Please delete all groups in those
##     hierarchies from your server if you carry them, unless you've
##     contacted the listed contact address and arranged a feed.
##
##     If you have permission to carry any of the hierachies so listed in
##     this file, you should change the entries for those hierarchies below.
##
##  The comments of this file aren't in any formal or well-defined syntax,
##  but they are meant to use a consistent syntax to allow eventual parsing
##  by scripts into a better database format.  Please follow the syntax of
##  existing entries when providing new ones.  The recognized "fields" are
##  Contact (contact e-mail address), Admin group (the administrative group
##  for the hierarchy), URL, Key URL (URL for PGP key), Key fingerprint, Key
##  mail (address to mail for PGP key), and Syncable server (for actsync or
##  a similar tool).

#
# Accept all newgroups (except ones forged from Big 8 newgroup issuers,
# who never issue alt.* control messages) and silently ignore all
# rmgroups.  This file used to attempt to track and recommend trusted
# rmgroup issuers; it no longer does because they change too frequently.
# What policy to use for alt.* groups varies widely from site to site.
# For a small site, it is strongly recommended that this policy be changed
# to drop all newgroups for alt.* as well as rmgroups and that the news
# admin only add new alt.* groups on request, as tons of alt.* newgroups
# are sent out regularly with the intent more to create nonsense entries
# in active files than to actually create a useable newsgroup.
#
# Other options and comments on alt.* groups can be found at
# <http://www.alt-config.org/>, one of the many alt.* FAQ sites.  Be aware
# that there is no official, generally accepted alt.* policy and all
# information about alt.* groups available is essentially someone's
# opinion, including these comments.  There are nearly as many different
# policies with regard to alt.* groups as there are Usenet sites.
