Hello, what to put in readers.conf, in order to be able to log in
using python_auth hook and get access to groups using python_auth hook

When i have readers.conf :

access "pdg" {
    users: "*"
    newsgroups: "*"
    access: RPA
}

auth "pdg" {

   python_auth: "nnrpd_auth.py"
}

Python authentification (authenticate(atributes) method) works fine
for me , and i am able to login.

But when i comment access "pdg" and add to auth line python_access to
have in readers.conf just:

auth "pdg" {
   python_access: "nnrpd_auth.py"
   python_auth: "nnrpd_auth.py"
}

i will get in logs :

polarion.research 0
Jun  7 16:03:32 dev01 nnrpd[2303]: david-nb.net.hlacik.eu times user

Jun  7 16:03:32 dev01 nnrpd[2396]: ? reverse lookup for 10.10.10.183
failed: reverse lookup validation failed -- using IP address for
access

Which looks like python_access is working , but i did not get auth
from python_auth so my client (Outlook Express) will response TCP/IP
connection was unexpectly terminated by server.

Where is the problem? :)

Thanks!
