Hmm.  Try this:  (note that the string in quotes at the start of each
block is essentially meaningless -- treat it as a comment)

auth "cleared" {
     hosts:    "*"
     auth:     "ckpasswd -f /usr/local/news/etc/passwords"
     default:  "<fail>"
}

auth "localnet" {
    hosts: "localhost, 127.0.0.1, stdin, 192.168.0.3"
    default: "<localnet>"
}

# This will match "<localnet>" as well
access "localnet" {
    users: "*"
    read: "*"
}

access "fail" {
     users:      "<fail>"
     read:       "!*"
}


I think that should work...
