tellnews uses the name that 'myname' setting in dnews.conf
The only way to force it to connect to something else is to specify an
alternate dnews.conf with myname
defined as 127.0.0.1
tellnews -c /etc/localdnews.conf status
To tell dnews to allow it add to the end of access.conf
127.0.0.1:read,post:::*
And don't set bind_in which stops dnews listening on all local addresses.
