Subject: pine: nntp authentication

Hello,

This may be an easy one. Does anyone out there know how to set a different 
user name when trying to connect to an nntp server that requires 
authentication? My isp requires this, and pine defaults my local user name 
and asks for a password. I can't find anything in the configuration for 
this. tia

The same as for any other server/folder specification:

    nntp-server = your.nntp.server/user=xyzzy

Voilà
