I have experimented with this file and found that: o If I set a dotted-quad IP address, giving read and post permissions, that location still cannot read or post. o But if I set the domain name of that IP address, the location CAN read and post. For management, it would be easier to list the IP address in that file. Is there anyway of getting nntp_access to accept IP addresses instead of domain names? Thanks! Doug Lerner, Tokyo
