Any idea of which software or flavour of authentication it's to work
against?
I did add the AUTHINFO USER/PASS in one of my versions but it's not in
the beta - it should work against a stock INN 1.5.1 but never tested
it ('nntp addserver news.foo.bar 600 user <username> <password>
[newsgroups]' IIRC) - it also doesn't adhere to the latest RFC977bis
draft which suggests that sending AUTHINFO initially in the session
may not be accepted by the server (instead wait for a challenge to
send it - a tad messy with KA9Q but it's do-able).
Cheers, Graham.
