I know you can't if you're with News Hostings. It's in their small print.

ACCEPTABLE USE OF ACCOUNT

All Personal accounts may be used for the subscribers personal use only. These accounts should be used by the owner of the account only, and there should only be one concurrent login session (up to eight connections from the same IP address) at any time. You may NOT use a personal account to feed a news server or news caching server. Any such use will be grounds for immediate account termination. Failure to comply with this regulation is in direct conflict with the Terms & Conditions which every customer should have read and agreed to.

It says you can share your account on the Hitnews Home page.
