Let's suppose my main NNTP server (i.e. gnus-select-method) is a public news server that doesn't require user-id and password. Let's suppose further that I'd also like to have access to several NNTP servers all requiring different user-ids and/or passwords. It is surely possible to create a new server then edit it and use server parameters for user id and password, but how? tia, kai -- Kai Grossjohann, Informatik VI grossjohann@ls6.cs.uni-dortmund.de Uni Dortmund, D-44221 Dortmund http://ls6-www.cs.uni-dortmund.de/ Vox +49 231 755 5670, Fax -2405 I like both kinds of music.
