To manage users on an NNTP server, follow these steps:
1. Create user accounts: Create user accounts on the NNTP server for each user who requires access to the server. These accounts should include a username and password.
1. Assign user permissions: Once user accounts have been created, assign appropriate permissions to each user. This includes specifying which newsgroups each user can access.
1. Monitor user activity: Monitor user activity to ensure that users are not violating any server policies or engaging in inappropriate behavior.
1. Manage user quotas: If necessary, set user quotas to limit the amount of data that users can upload or download from the server. This can help prevent excessive bandwidth usage and ensure that the server runs smoothly.
1. Remove inactive users: Periodically review user accounts to identify and remove any inactive users. This can help keep the server database clean and reduce the risk of unauthorized access.
