[news.software.anu-news] help with 5.6 and restrictions....

Hi folks,
I'm running 5.6 and "normal" users seem unable to post.  I've spent
the day looking around and finally see this thing called access.news
in each directory, or rather news is looking for one and can't find
it.  Looks like there is some support for restricting access to reading
and posting news on a group by group basis.  However none of the
documentation I've got says anything about this.  And figuring out the
contents of the file is a bit hard, or at least I don't want to do it
without asking for help first.  Can anyone tell me anything about
restrictions and how they work?
     
I want no restrictions, no moderators, at present.
Thanks for any and all,
/ Sid /
