} I actually wonder if that's a bug in INN resulting from the fact that

} nnrpd/commands.c in CURRENT.)

I think we need to consider two cases.  One is newsgroup to
which can be posted by successful authentication.  Another
is newsgroup to which can never be posted regardless of
authentication.  It would not be trivial to implement, at a
guess, since it's necessary to parse whole semantics of
readers.conf.
