Subject: more newsserver

Is it possible to have more than one newssever accessed by pine?

I am able to type in more than one (setup -> config), but pine only
showes the first one in the list.

Regards,
Claus.

I think so, press M S L and add the news server. Follow the model of your
other news server entry.

 What I do not know is what will ocurr when you try to post a message to
the second server, anyone knows?

Yep, I would need 2 of them. ;-)

I did this. As "Path" I have "#news." on both entries.

It does not work, because both entries are using the same .newsrc
file, meaning both (different) newssever are using the same selected
newsgroups.

How can I solve this problem?

Thanks for your help!

Regards,
Claus.

That is correct and is a problem of mine aswell.

>How can I solve this problem?

There isn't a configuration way to do it...
I was planning on doing some heavy patching so that one was able to
specify a newsrcfile like .newsrc-%s and pine would substitute the %s with
the newshost it is connected to... But then I was recommended slrn that
also got threaded newsreading... :-/

So dp a little sourcepatching and you will be alright.

I've got info about how to do this using Pine command-line arguments
at either of these URLs:

Good luck,

Although Nancy's suggestions help, they by no means solve the problem
posed, is it there any chance the Pine team will consider adding multi-
newsserver support in future versions of Pine?

Hello, I'd like to use news server that requires login and
password.  howerver my unix pine puts my login id as the id to login to
the server...  I want to use a different account.  is there a way to put
different name for newsserver?  Thanks.

Nemo,

Yes, in the definition of the news server, write

  your.news.server/nntp/user=your_login_name
