<div class="markdown_content"><p>If I create some local groups and give my friends<br /> access to them, then (as far as I can tell) there is<br /> no way to stop them from reading any other newsgroup<br /> on USENET, thus possibly clogging up my hard-drive.</p> <p>It would be useful to have some way to control the<br /> output of a LIST NNTP command so that I can restrict<br /> access to groups depending on who is connected.</p> <p>Perhaps have a NNTP_LIST environment variable that<br /> gives the name of a file containing a glob style<br /> list of newsgroups to be given at a LIST command.<br /> I could then control access through hosts.allow<br /> as with the NOPOSTING env. var.</p></div>
