Hi Gunter,
Thanks for your report; that's pretty useful.

Are they at global scope or in a "peer { }" block?

Wouldn't commenting out line 231 be enough?
The problem is that the access: keyword has an empty value.
If you want to deny everything, I suggest:
read: "!*"
instead of using the access: keyword.
Anyway, with "!*" as the value for the newsgroups: keyword, it is fine.
Note to Florian:
same issue of inclusion with innfeed.conf.
Configuration files can be included in other configuration files via
the syntax:
$INCLUDE filename
There is a maximum nesting depth of 10.
