this won't hide forum posts from the home page, etc. if you want this
type of access control, you have to implement a node access module. see
the node permission API.

This simple patch (basically s/access content/access forums/g) makes it
possible to restrict view access to forums.
This is useful e.g. for sites that want anonymous users to be able to
see pages etc. but want people to have to log in before reading the
forums.
I don't have a HEAD install anywhere, but the equivalent changes on my
4.5 installation are working just fine.
