must you name your local group (one you create on your own Dnews server)
begin with local.### Since the only one that see this group is people who
connect to my news server, can I make its name anything (as long as it is
not the NNTP standard, i.e. rec, comp, alt, etc)
2. What conf file do I edit to limit who can connect to my news server to
either read or post?
3. Last we are just doing suck, and not IHAVE. But i notice there is an
entire in my access.conf
news.myisp.com:ihave:::*
Do that entires need to be there? I already have its in my "nntp_feeder"
inside dnews.conf
