I set up the nntpcache to require authentication, but despite the fact that I have the proper authentication information in my ~/.authinfo file for this server, gnus never initiates an authinfo sequence. I believe that I have nntpcache set up correctly, because other newsreaders manage to issue the authinfo and get me connected with no problem. Also, when I telnet to the nntp port of that nntpcache-based server and manually issue the authinfo sequence, it works fine and gives me access to all the groups. Ideally, I'd like gnus to always send the authinfo sequence when connecting to this nntp server. However, for some reason, gnus doesn't do this, irrespective of the fact that I have an entry for this server in ~/.authinfo. Is anyone here using gnus to connect to any nntpcache-based servers, and if so, have you encountered and, hopefully, solved this problem? I've already asked this question to the nntpcache maintainer. Nonetheless, I'm also asking here in case one or more of you are familiar with this issue. Thanks in advance. -- Lloyd Zusman ljz@asfast.com God bless you.
