Had it setup as:

Under name:pw everything shows (BTW why can't I use a passwd file like in
INN).

You can. Use the file 'users.dat' to add users generally.

But when I came in under a different IP address with no user/pw all I could
see for groups was the public.announce groups.  So I changed it to:

*:logoff:::*
*:read:::public.*
*:post:::public.*,!public.announce*
w.x.y.z:read,post:name:pw:*

Then: tellnews reload
That looks right.


Went back to the server to get new newsgroups (reset list in OE) and it still just comes up with the two public.announce groups.

So what am I missing here.  Users should be able to read any public.* group
and be able to post to all of them execpt the announce groups.

?


It's now working after:
  tellnews exit
  dnews_start.sh


I don't have any explanation for that, unless you were using dmulti that might have caused the 'reload' to fail. My best guess is the tellnews reload wasn't sent, or outlook did something very weird. Neither seem very likely. Anyway, fixed now so that's the main thing.
