Package: sysnews (0.9-16)

program to display system news

The news command keeps you informed of news concerning the system. Each news item is contained in a separate file in the /var/lib/sysnews directory. Anyone having write permission to this directory can create a news file.

NOTE: This command has nothing to do with USENET news. It's more like an enhanced motd.
