We are in the process of configuring a firewall.  We use
local newsgroups for discussions internally and want to be
able to see our 'private' news on the same newsreaders as
the World of Usenet.  My fear is that someone will be able
to coerce our newsserver into broadcasting sensitive
internal newsgroups.

I have heard that there is a tool called 'suck' which is
designed to do just this.  Is there such a tool?  If so,
how can I be sure I'm safe from it?
