Nope, that is there and uncommented. Nor does it make a diffeence when
run manually.  I have localhost allowed as per default in INNs
readers.conf, and then some special bits to control access to different
groups for different users. But the fact that it woerks one way is
confusing me; it should work both ways or none AFÅICT (INN newbie
though).
