Anonymous NNTP access failing when opening a group

Hi,

I'm having trouble setting up my news server to allow anonymous access.

I have granted anonymous access to the server and set the user ID. When a
client connects, they can sucessfully get a list of the newsgroups, but when
the client tries to open/view a newsgroup they get an error: Error Number:
480 Code: 800ccca4

Its almost like there is a per group permission -- that anonymous access
needs to be granted at the group level as well.

Peter R had the same problem:

Has anyone found a solution to this?

Thanks in advance,
Don
