auth "public" {
    hosts: "*"
    default: "<public>"
}
access "public" {
    users: "<public>"
    newsgroups: "*,!junk,!control,!control.*"
}
----------------------------------------------
IN MY CASE, with above setting
1,anybody can read and post
2,"junk, control, and control.* group" will not show up in the group list


--------------------------------------------
auth "public" {
    hosts: "*"
    default: "<public>"
}
auth "me" {
    hosts: "192.168.168.6"
    default: "<me>"
}
access "public" {
    users: "<public>"
    read: "*"
    post: "*,!read-only"
}
access "me" {
    users: "<me>"
    read: "*"
    post: "*"
}
---------------------------------------------
with this setting
1,only "192.168.168.6" can post to the group "read-only"
2,anybody can read "read-only" group, read and post to other groups


when i try to put them together, i got a problem
group "junk, control, control.*" show up in the list !!!
which is not i expected !

any idea ?  this is what i did:

-------------------------------------------
auth "public" {
    hosts: "*"
    default: "<public>"
}
auth "me" {
    hosts: "192.168.168.6"
    default: "<me>"
}
access "public" {
    users: "<public>"
    newsgroups: "*,!junk,!control,!control.*"
}
access "public" {
    users: "<public>"
    read: "*"
    post: "*,!read-only"
}
access "me" {
    users: "<me>"
    read: "*"
    post: "*"
}
