Use and access.conf/users.dat configuration something like this... -------------access.conf-------------- *:logoff:::* *:read,post:$lookup$:$lookup$:!* *:read:groups=management::!*,*managers*,*customers*,*release* *:post:groups=management::!*,*managers*,*customers* *:read,post:groups=customers::!*,*customers* *:read,post:groups=programming::!*,*release*,*development*,*customers* 127.0.0.1:read,post:::* ---------------users.dat-------------- manager:password:None:*::management customer:password:None:*::customers programmer:password:None:*::programming ------------------------------------- Of course you can use NT usergroups and users instead of users.dat. Just be sure to set 'auth_case true' in dnews.conf. Let us know if you have any questions.
