I am having trouble with nntp/rn.  We recently brought up nntp on 
one of our SUNS and are successfully getting news feeds.  I tried
today to build rrn on another of our workstations and to access the
first system as a remote news server.  My problem is getting nntpd
to recognize my workstation as a valid news reader.  If I set
the default to read and post, everything is fine.  However, if I 
set default to no no and then try to put in my workstation for read
and post, or put in the IP number of the workstation, or the network
name, I always get told that my workstation does not have permission
for the server.  I must be doing something stupid, but it isn't immediately
apparent.  The nntp_access file looks like this:

default			read	no
calvin			read	post
linac			read	post
midway.uchicago.edu	xfer	no
uwm.edu			xfer	no

This works, but if I change the default line to read no no, calvin
cannot read or post.
