Configuring NNTP access

particular group of clients. You can add, delete, and view access rules.

Each rule must begin with a specific client group. You can use three ways
to specify groups of clients: by IP range, domain, or host name. For
example:

Following the client group is an access directive. The access directive is
of the form

access=value

. The allowed access values are

ip_allow

,

ip_deny

,

basic

,

generic

, and

custom

. Depending on the access

directive, you can further specify an authenticator program, users, and
passwords, as in the following examples:

ip=0.0.0.0-255.255.255.255

ip=127.0.0.1

domain=intel.com

hostname=myhost.mydomain.com

ip=127.0.0.1 access=”generic” authenticator=”homebrew”

user=”joe”

hostname=myhost.com access=”basic” user=”joe” pass=”bob”
