Can you send us ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) your entire dnews.conf and
access.conf files and we'll check them to see if they look correct.
Also can you send us section of dnews.log covering the period where
you attempt to authenticate to DNews using an LDAP username and
password.
telnet your.server.ip 119
authinfo user username
authinfo pass password

Currently our ldapauth module doesn't implement usergroups.
How is the group information stored in your LDAP database?
Do you have a groups attribute for each user? Or do we need to
search group entries for each user?
