Subject: Pine 4.05 NNTP authentication...

Hi all...

I need to configure Pine 4.05 to supply a special login ID for an nntp
server.  This special login ID is not the same as my system login ID.
Although the help function talks about the "/user=" parameter, this
doesn't seem to work.  Regardless of what I place in the "/user"
parameter, Pine still uses my system login ID for NNTP authentication.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Thanks...

Jamie

This also is not a question for this group.

However, I tried this and it worked.  Make sure there are no spaces in your
server name.  For example:
Server:  news.sandia.gov/nntp/user=george

If "pine.config.fixed" is present he may not be able
to make the change.
