I have successfully installed INN on my Linux RedHat 7.1 server and have
been able to connect to the news server remotely and post a test message.
My next task is to restrict access based on local user accounts (this news
server will only be used as an internal collaboration tool for our small
company).
I understand that I need to edit the readers.conf file... Here is what I
have so far:
access "All" {
users: "*"
newsgroups: "*"
}
auth "Users" {
hosts: "*"
default: "*"
}
I realize that this is a COMPLETELY open system... But I want to allow our
users to connect from any host and therefore secure access using their Unix
username and passwords.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
