Why not set up a guest account and let your users ssh in and run their
newsreader through a tunnel? There is ssh software for all popular
platforms:

quote of the day...
There is no web site that has a UI that comes close to the lamest
newsreader in the world....they don't even let you do basic things
like "don't show me messages I've already read". It's a continual
source of amazement to me (though it shouldn't be) what people will
settle for.
