I am now using this in readers.conf:

auth "lan" {
 hosts: "10.1.5.0/24"
 default: "<lan>"
}

access "lan" {
 users: "*"
 newsgroups: "*"
 access: RP
}

I have also changed default: "<lan>" to "<lan>@aa.usno.navy.mil" and there 
is no change. I get a logon prompt, but I cannot log in. 

Could the fact that I compiled with the "--with-openssl=/path/to/openssl" 
be causing this problem??
