Authentication over SSL

Just use an nnrpd filter hook:

    http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/inn/docs/hook-perl.html
    http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/inn/docs/hook-python.html

with something like:

    return 'Have a look at...' if (what-you-want);


You have to give them post access with readers.conf and when these very
users post an article, you use an nnrpd filter hook (Perl or Python)
with such a return.
