To manage extensions on an NNTP server, follow these steps:
1. Identify the extensions that you want to enable or disable on your server. Common extensions include ACL, XOVER, COMPRESS, and AUTHINFO.
1. Modify the configuration file of your NNTP server to enable or disable the required extensions. For example, to disable the AUTHINFO extension, add the following line to your configuration file:
disable-authinfo: true1. Restart your NNTP server to apply the configuration changes.
1. Test the extensions to ensure that they are working as expected. For example, you can use a newsreader or a command-line tool to test the XOVER extension.
1. Monitor your server logs to detect any errors related to the extensions. If any errors are detected, review the configuration file and the server documentation to troubleshoot the issue.
By managing extensions on your NNTP server, you can optimize its functionality and security, and provide better services to your users.
