134 passwd.nntp \- passwords for connecting to remote NNTP servers
136 .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
137 The file \fIpasswd.nntp\fR in \fIpathetc\fR contains host / name / password
138 triplets for use when authenticating client programs to \s-1NNTP\s0 servers.
139 This file is normally interpreted by \fINNTPsendpassword()\fR in \fIlibinn\fR\|(3).
140 Blank lines and lines beginning with a number sign (\f(CW\*(C`#\*(C'\fR) are ignored.
141 All other lines should consist of three or four fields separated by
145 \& host:name:password
146 \& host:name:password:style
149 The first field is the name of a host, and is matched in a
150 case-insensitive manner. (No detailed matching, such as comparing \s-1IP\s0
153 The second field is a user name, and the third is a password. If either
154 the username or password is empty, then that portion of the
155 authentication will not occur. (For example, when connecting to a
156 remote \s-1INN\s0 for peering, only the password is needed.)
158 The optional fourth field specifies the type of authentication to use.
159 At present, the only recognized \*(L"authentication style\*(R" is \f(CW\*(C`authinfo\*(C'\fR;
160 this is also the default. It means that \s-1NNTP\s0 \*(L"authinfo\*(R" commands are
161 used to authenticate to the remote host. (The \f(CW\*(C`authinfo\*(C'\fR command is a
162 common extension to \s-1RFC\s0 977.)
167 \& ## UUNET needs a password, MIT doesn't.
