readers.conf configuration problem/question

[Forrest Aldrich]

I seem to be having a problem with the configuration I have in readers.conf.

If I'm not mistaken, if someone isn't authorized, they should get an 
error like "You are not authrized to talk".   However, my users are 
reporting they can talk to the server (probably limited).

Can someone comment on this config?


Thanks.
