passwd.nntp
PASSWD.NNTP(5) File Formats Manual PASSWD.NNTP(5)
NAME
passwd.nntp - passwords for connecting to remote NNTP servers
DESCRIPTION
The file /etc/news/passwd.nntp contains host-name-password triplets for use when authenticating client programs to NNTP servers. This file
is normally interpreted by the NNTPsendpassword routine in libinn(3). Blank lines and lines beginning with a number sign (``#'') are
ignored. All other lines should consist of three or four fields separated by colons:
host:name:password
host:name:password:style
The first field is the name of a host, and is matched in a case-insensitive manner. The second field is a user name, and the third is a
password. The optional fourth field specifies the type of authentication to use. The default is ``authinfo'' which means that NNTP
``authinfo'' commands are used to authenticate to the remote host. If either the username or password are empty, then the related command
will not be sent. (The ``authinfo'' command is a common extension to RFC 977.)
For example:
## UUNET needs a password, MIT doesn't.
mit.edu:bbn::authinfo
uunet.uu.net:bbn:yoyoma:authinfo
This file should not be world-readable.
