I set up that server to require authentication. However, despite the fact that I have the proper authentication information in my ~/.authinfo file for this server, gnus never initiates an authinfo sequence. I believe that I have nntpcache set up correctly, because other newsreaders manage to issue the authinfo and get me connected with no problem. Also, when I telnet to the nntp port of that nntpcache-based server and manually issue the authinfo sequence, it works fine and gives me access to all the groups. Is anyone here using gnus to connect to any nntpcache-based servers, and if so, have you encountered and, hopefully, solved this problem? I have also written a similar question to the nntpcache developer, but I want to check here as well, in case any of you might be familiar with this issue. I'm using nntpcache-3.0.2 and No Gnus v0.11. Thanks in advance. -- Lloyd Zusman ljz@asfast.com God bless you.
