Hi,

You'll have to parameter 2 different access groups in readers.conf.
One that matches the single user, and containing:
users: "joe"
read: "*"
post: "news.group"

Another one for the others, with:
users: "*,!joe"
read: "*"

or any other variations in read/post.

You'll have to properly authenticate "joe" in your(s) auth group(s),
either via a specific host or an authenticator.

Do you mean only on your readable on your server or for the entire Usenet
in general? If it is the first, Julien's reply will probably work. If you
mean for the entire Usenet, you'll want to set up a moderated group.

I noticed the new users file is there any type of syntax that
would work for editing this file to add new users.
