David Beckemeyer:
What I want by saying a "private" newsgroup is a local newsgroup that
is only viewable by certain users, probably based on GID.  I suppose
this means that relaynews would have to use a different umask and group
ownership on articles in these groups.

Tom Limoncelli:
cd /var/spool/news/secret/newsgroup
chown news .
chgrp membersonly .
chmod o= .

That's all you have to do.  Same story for INN users.
