passwd.nntp

PASSWD.NNTP(5)						    InterNetNews Documentation						    PASSWD.NNTP(5)

NAME

       passwd.nntp - Passwords for connecting to remote NNTP servers

DESCRIPTION

       The file pathetc/passwd.nntp contains host / name / password triplets for use when authenticating client programs to NNTP servers.  This
       file is normally interpreted by NNTPsendpassword() 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.  (No detailed matching, such as comparing IP addresses,
       is done.)

       The second field is a user name, and the third is a password.  If either the username or password is empty, then that portion of the
       authentication will not occur.  (For example, a server may require only a username, in which case the password is not necessary.  Note that
       a username is mandatory with AUTHINFO USER/PASS.)

       The optional fourth field specifies the type of authentication to use.  At present, the only recognized "authentication style" is
       "authinfo"; this is also the default.  It means that AUTHINFO USER/PASS commands are used to authenticate to the remote host.  (These NNTP
       commands are described in RFC 4643.)

       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.
