You can do this either by ip level and or usergroup in access.conf.  An
access.conf/users.dat something like this would do the trick...

-------------access.conf--------------
*:logoff:::*
*:read,post:$lookup$:$lookup$:*
*:read:post:groups=hidden::hidden.group:add
*:read,post:::*
-------------users.dat----------------
username:password:None:*::hidden
--------------------------------------

That defines a usergroup 'hidden' with a single user 'username' who can
access all newsgroup when successfully authenticated.  All other logged
in
users will see all newsgroups except 'hidden.group'

Let us know if you have any questions.

Brian
