Using passwords in authinfo.pgp?

Using passwords in authinfo.pgp?

Hello,

When starting Gnus, it prompts my different passwords for my
mailboxes, but never for my news server. However, this news server
needs an authentification. 

I have crypted my .authinfo file (resulting in .authinfo.gpg, a
crypted .authinfo), and one part of my .gnus file is

(setq nntp-authinfo-file ".authinfo.gpg")
(setq smtpmail-auth-credentials ".authinfo.gpg")

It should be thus read, shouldn't it?
Gnus seems to look in .authinfo.gpg for nntp authentification, but not
for my nnml one. Why? I added

(setq mail-source-authinfo-file "~/.authinfo.gpg")

but it seems to be deprecated.

Any idea?

Thanks a lot.

Use auth-source.el.  nntp-authinfo-file and smtpmail-auth-credentials
should not be necessary either, assuming a recent version of Emacs and
Gnus.  Look at auth.info for details (btw, I know it needs work).

Okay.

Where is this file located?

It's part of the Gnus and Emacs installation as of 23.1, I think.  At
least for me it was installed automatically and you can use the standard
Info facilities, e.g. `C-h i'.  For older versions you could look at
auth-source.el (use `M-x locate-library'), it will have the instructions
that eventually went into auth.info.
