passwd.nntp − passwords for connecting to remote NNTP servers
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.
