What's wrong with 'port'? Wouldn't a good enough solution be to make nn{tp,imap}-authinfo-file be a server parameter? That way the machine name in the file doesn't need to be relevant (since you have a different file for each one) and no information other than username and login need be used. In fact I thought it already worked that way, at least for nntp. I seem to recall doing something like that when I was setting up a couple servers that used port forwards over ssh to my 2 nntp servers (and thus both were connected to "localhost"). I'll have to check my home machine tonight to verify my memory :-) -- Dave Goldberg Post: The Mitre Corporation\MS B325\202 Burlington Rd.\Bedford, MA 01730 Phone: 781-271-3887 Email: dsg@mitre.org
