> Is it possible with the DNews access sytem to leave certain groups
completely open to the general public?  I am wanting to have my local groups
open to all, but have my locally-hosted Usenet groups require Authinfo
access for posting.  Is this possible?

Hi,

Yes, this is possible. You will need to set up access.conf like this -

    *:logoff:::*
    *:read,post:$lookup$:$lookup$:*:
    *:read:::local.*:

This should permit anyone who is not authenticated to read all 'local.*'
groups but not post to them (you can change it to *:read,post:::local.*: if
posting is desired), and any authenticated user read and post access to all
groups.
