bad_newsfeeds

I have tried auth configurations given at site:

http://web.inter.nl.net/users/Elena.Samsonova/unix/INN/v2.3/implementation.html
#User_Access_Rights_and_Closed_Gr

This site gives readers.conf like this:

auth "passwords" { 
hosts: "*" 
key: "pwd" 
auth: "check_password nntp" 
} 

access "passwords" { 
key: "pwd" 
newsgroups: "*,!local.newstest,!control*,!junk" 
access: "Read Post" 
} 


When I do this, I get, in log/news.err:


SERVER: bad_newsfeeds no feeding sites


I don't understand this error. I don't have any feeding sites. None are listed in my newsfeeds file, except ME: When I use this 
readers.conf, I don't even get a logon prompt. Does this require an entry in the passwd.nntp file?
