I've hacked in support to use standard authinfo support from the /etc/password file. Proff's said that he'll have the auth code back in the next minor release. But seeing all the problems he's had recently who knows when that might be. (Something about his house burning down.. then someone stealing the suburbia.net/nntpcache.org servers) Flat password authentication isnt hard at all to hack in. That however doesnt really do me any good. I was hoping to beable to have it read the nis passwd file.. but simply having in the usual +::0:0:: in the password file didnt work as i was guessing it might. I havent had a chance to add in all the other support i've wanted to... as one of our main servers lost a disk in the stripe... and we'd just unmirored the stripe to do other testing.. Whoops... no more spool :( re-populating that 100Gb sucks :( Hopefully if i can get the spool re-populated in the next day or so.. i'll go back and fix the authinfo code so it will work on /etc/passwd or nis... -Daved
