The title pretty much sez. it. For the last week or so, some dweeb calling himself Stuart Weiner has been posting stuff from our central news machine. If (that's a small if), this is from an external site, how do I prevent this? I've already set up my nntp access_file to lock out any non-NotreDame machine from reading/posting. Anything else I can do???

Anything else I can do??? Try to compile NNTP 1.5.11 with the per-user authorization scheme enabled (#define AUTH). Although this will be defined in the NNTP 2.0 protocol spec eventually, it should work now. -- Helge Oldach he@sup.stollmann.de he@sephh.hanse.de
