	I'm running C News (patchlevel 15-Dec-1990) on an Ultrix 4.1
system.  I just switched to C News, and I like most of it.  However,
there is one important thing that is missing (from my point of view) -
there appears to be no way of restricting postnews (et al) to a
specified list of people, ala Bnews' authorized file.

	Before I go hacking around, I'd like to know what (if anything)
anyone else has done about this.  Did you modify inews, Pnews, or what?

	BTW, I don't want to debate the issues of whether or not everyone
should be able to post.  This is just the way our site has chosen to do
things.
