Authinfo situation

Authinfo situation

[Harry Putnam]

Using the new .authinforc authentication setup - very nice-
No more typing in passwords- whoopee

Once I removed the old 'send authinfo' which was making sunsite.auc.dk
ask for authentication and choking. Then qgnus works slicker than bear
grease.


The only problem I have had with it is because I am trying to run
Emacs/qgnus  and Xemacs/With Gnus5.5
When I start Gnus5.5 in Xemacs it  asks for the password, when I insert
it gnus, just sets there with the line drawing of the gnus showing (for
ever).
 
Tried inserting the:
 (add-hook 'nntp-server-opened-hook 'nntp-send-authinfo)
 In .xemacs-options and tried the nosey version too but xemacs isn't
going for it.

To you experienced lispers this is probably no problem and would be
handled with a 'condition statement' in .emacs.

But rather than have to condition different things as I add new stuff,
isn't there a way to make xemacs use a completely different
inititialization file than emacs.

Not just from the command line, but something in .emacs that will make
xemacs look elswhere for its instructions.

I do have this in .emacs but do not really understand what it is
supposed to do.

Put a `(require 'nntp)' before that.

If you mean like this:
(require 'nntp)
(add-hook 'nntp-server-opened-hook 'nntp-send-authinfo)

Doesn't seem to change anything when I put it in .xemacs-options so
tried it in .emacs. Still didn't help anything.  But it least it didn't
prevent qgnus from using the new .authinforc file When I run
emacsc-qgnus

So is the other part of my query a bad move or what:

(besides just command line)

Sure; just make this your .emacs file:

(if (string-match "xemacs" (emacs-version))
    (load-file "~/.xemacs")
  (load-file "~/.not-xemacs"))
