We have an internal group that may potentially contain sensitive
articles, and, therefore, would like to limit access to the newsgroup
to only certain individuals.  We set the permissions on the directory
to be 640 so that only people in a specific group can access the articles
(the directory is owned by news).  That works if people read news
on that machine.  However, if they read news via nntp, the nntpd is
owned by news, making the newsgroup readable by anyone.

Is it possible to limit access to a certain newsgroup via nntp?

Thanks,
-Roger
