>is it possible to have *different groups called discuss like this
>news://user1:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/discuss
>news://user2:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/discuss
>news://userdomain3.com/discuss
>news://userdomain4.com/discuss
>where at userdomain3 and 4 the groups are accessible without passwords ?
Yes, it can be done I believe, if you use these settings in dnews.conf here is
the section from updates.htm which describes how to do this, you would need
to have multiple ip addresses assigned to your system so dnews could tell
the difference between the domains.
To turn this on add to dnews.conf auth_virtual_ip true
and auth_virtual_user true Then in access.conf add @local.ip.address to
your access rules.
E.g. lets assume you have two ethernet cards 2.2.2.2 for local use and
3.3.3.3 for public news groups, then your
access.conf would look like this:
...
*@2.2.2.2:read,post:::*
*:read,post:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:password:*
*@3.3.3.3:read,post:::*,!private.*
This lets fred read the private groups even when he connects to 3.3.3.3,
you cannot use domain names for the local
addresses you must use the number. auth_virtual_ip adds the local ip
address to the ip address and auth_virtual_user
adds the local ip address to user names.
