Subject: .authinfo is ignored on startup
Date: Sun, 13 Mar 2005 17:46:19 GMT	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <u3buzfngx.fsf@newsguy.com> (raw)

I'm trying a different newsserver for a while and put the needed info
in ~/.authinfo.  However, when I start gnus it still prompts me for my
uid and passwd.   I've tripple checked that its entered correctly.

I type the exact same info at the 2 prompts and get the news.  How can
I debug this?

Its on winxp and No Gnus v0.3
