Here is a shell script that will create a .newsrc file for
the person that runs it. It extracts the data from .uindex.
NOTE: It does NOT preserve any .newsrc file that was there before.
UID=`grep $LOGNAME /etc/passwd | cut -d: -f3`
SUBS=`grep "^$UID" /usr/spool/news/.uindex | cut -d: -f3 | tr "," "\040"`
echo "options -n $SUBS" > $HOME/.newsrc
echo '$HOME/.newsrc' created
