Subject: problem w/ auth-required nntp site
Date: 01 Sep 2002 23:32:26 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m3ofbhysl1.fsf@lugabout.jhcloos.org> (raw)
I've been unable to convince gnus to access an auth-required nntp
server I recently re-subscribed to.
The server responds with:
200 hostname.elided.com InterNetNews NNRP server INN 2.3.2 ready (posting ok).
upon connection and after mode reader, and never gives a 480
response. It does however respond with:
215 Newsgroups in form "group high low flags".
.
to a list command.
I tried this in ~/.authinfo:
machine hostname.elided.com login ME password PASSWD force
but it was ignored, AFAICT.
So how do I force gnus to authenticate even when it thinks it doesn't
need to?
Or is it just a bug in v5.9.0?
