I seem to recall a variable in news called FASCIST which enabled the
"authorized" file. After installing the latest C news, I can't find 
it. I've disabled Pnews in the meantime, but the users are clammoring
to at least be able to post locally. But, with an expected userbase
nearing 8000 (2500 now), I can't have posting completely on. We're going
to require a form first. In any case, the reason for my rambling is
to ask am I missing something, or is FASCIST/authorized just not used
anymore? If so, anyone have any ideas? I've written my own parser for
authorized, but it can't hurt to ask...
