There is code in nnrpd.c, perl.c, and article.c that references 
MaxBytesPerSecond which looks, on quick examination, to do part of 
what you're looking for.

What's there works on a per-connection basis, not per-
user/host/IP/group.

The existing perl authenticator returns 4 results; it doens't provide 
a value for MaxBytesPerSecond.  I'll mess around with this for a bit 
and see if I can't scrape together whether it works as-is.  It might 
be as simple as returning a fifth value from nnrpd_auth.pl.  AFAIK, 
this feature is not documented anywhere yet.

If anyone else knows that this works and how to implement it, please 
jump in and save me some digging!  ;-)

Cheers,
Kev
