Problem getting public as well as private groups to show on Thunderbird

[Julien ÉLIE]

Hi Aaron,What is the use case?  Should your user "aaronngray" have access to both comp.* and private.*?If that is the case, you have to put "private.*,comp.*" in your list.I would try:auth password {    auth: "ckpasswd -f /usr/local/news/db/passwords"   default: <norestriction>}access private {    users: "aaronngray"    newsgroups: "comp.*,private.*"}access public {   users: "<norestriction>"   newsgroups: "comp.*"}Identities are assigned from the last matching line to the top.Note that an authenticated user with another login than yours will not be granted any access in the above case as there isn't any matching access line for him.See the "in a nutshell" section and examples in:    https://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/inn/docs/readers.conf.html-- Julien

  Thunderbird I have the following `readers.conf` :-```auth private {    key: "private"    auth: "ckpasswd -f /usr/local/news/db/passwords"}access private {    key: "private"    users: "aaronngray"    newsgroups: "private.*"}auth public {   key: "public"   hosts: *   default: <norestriction>}access public {   key: "public"   users: "<norestriction>"   newsgroups: "comp.*"}```which will not show private newsgroups.```auth public {   key: "public"   hosts: *   default: <norestriction>}access public {   key: "public"   users: "<norestriction>"   newsgroups: "comp.*"}auth private {    key: "private"    auth: "ckpasswd -f /usr/local/news/db/passwords"}access private {    key: "private"    users: "aaronngray"    newsgroups: "private.*"}```will only show private newsgroups !Hope you can put me right on this !Many thanks in advance,Aaron-- Aaron GrayIndependent Open Source Software Engineer, Computer LanguageResearcher, Information Theorist, and amateur computer scientist.-- inn-workers mailing listinn-workers at lists.isc.orghttps://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/inn-workers
