Hi, 
	I need to know if there is a way to configure a news server to allow
access to a particular newsgroup on a user level basis. I know that you
can configure nnrp.access to force certain hosts to supply passwords in
order to post news to a certain newsgroup, but what about reading a
certain newsgroup. From what I've already read, i can't see a way. Any
suggestions??????

Thanks,
