Subject says it all. Is anyone working on a kerberized version of NNTP?
I need some sort of authentication scheme built into NNTP to do user-level
authorization for newsgroup access. NNTP currently only does host-level
authentication and authorization. There are some hooks for user-level stuff,
but I think it required passwords to be kept in clear text on each NNTP
client.

Anyone doing any work along this line?
