That's kind of what I said, the list of restricted groups is "*" (all of 
them). That allows a few other commands to work, like DATE. Actually, I 
think you can do this just using the access file, although you may have 
to make one group available read-only, like "about.this.server" or some 
such. It's been a while since I did it.
