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?
