I am OK with the defaults but CouchDB authentication is pluggable and you can configure things any way you like. Whether that's OK for everyone I can't say; they can always run things through a proxy or VPN or whatever makes sense. For me it's good enough. >> I sync subscriptions (including level), newsgroup topics, read ranges, >> and marks. It works pretty well for me after a weekend test. SB> Ok. What about servers? No, the servers are not synced. I don't think it's possible because they are in the user configuration, not in newsrc.eld necessarily. I could sync just the foreign servers but that's even more complicated between machines with possibly identical server names. >> The biggest piece missing is username+password validation and I'm >> working on that.

As described in http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Security_Features_Overview, I'll set up an admin just for the CouchDB database. I'll host other users if they need it. Their sync DB can coexist with mine. Ted
