Good examples too. Still having a problem opening sunsite.auc.dk though I have the emacs.ding group like so in group buffer: nntp+sunsite.auc.dk:emacs.ding (as a foreign group) When ever I start qgnus 0.29 (before making an .authinforc file) I am prompted for my main nntp server user name and password and also for a user name and password for "sunsite.auc.dk". The prompt looks like: NNTP (sunsite.auc.dk) user name: NNTP (sunsite.auc.dk) password: If I hit and repectively, gnus gets the emacs.ding postings. So apparently defaults are all thats needed. Now since I made an .authinforc file that looks like; machine enews.newsguy.com login reader password xxxxxxxx machine sunsite.auc.dk login password Every thing I could think of to put in the second line for login and password (including login anonymous password reader@newsguy.com) Draws a "502 authentication error" If I leave the line out, I am back to hitting at the prompts for nntp+sunsite.auc.dk. -- Harry Putnam reader@newsguy.com
