I have resolved the News reader permission denied problem by adding
the news server FQDN to the /usr/lib/news/hosts.nntp file. I can now
Read & Post news successfully from the reader.
My question was:
>>I am setting the INN (Internet News) server (version 1.4) on a Linux 2.0.28
>>and is getting newsfeeds from my ISP successfully.
>>My problem is posting a news or article from a reader on Window95 using
>>netscape, the reader is on the same LAN as the News server and it can read
>>articles/newsgroups from the server *without* any problem. When the Window95
>>reader (client) attempted to post news an error window poped up;
>>"A News (NNTP) error occured"
>>"480 Transfer permission denied"
>>I have ensure that the news server file /usr/lib/news/nnrp.access has both
>>the Read and Post permissions setup.
>>On the server side when I sent ihave command I also got permission denied
>>as following;
>># telnet news 119
>>ihave
>>480 Transfer permission denied
>>
