Greetings,

I am having problems running the "newsgroups" command in BSD/OS 2. 
It seems to complain that my machine does not have permission to use
the "news news server."

This does not make sense since I do have an entry in the nnrp.access file
and the man page says nothing about access control. (Why are these things
not documented?)

Anyway, thanks in advance. Please cc my e-mail directly.

Regards,
Cam
