Talking to myself.... So far, it looks like the best bet is to run INN as a stand-alone news server, use the "authmysql" plugin from www.sieker.info to integrate a MySQL database for user authentication, and use PHP Nes Reader (pnews.sourceforge.net) for the web interface. The first two tries at "up2date inn --dry-run" have failed due to CRC checks in the downloaded file. I'll have to find a different mirror. -- Steve
