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.
