With nntpcache forward the authinfo to the actual news servers? What I mean is that if a user connects to nntpcache and sends a authinfo will nntpcache passed this onto the real news server when it connects? I don't want nntpcache to do any checking other than ip number to match my domain. I hope this is clear. Basicly I want to use nntpcache as a proxy between me and some commercial servers like supernews.com or alt.net that uses authinfo to check for access. Thanks, Steve.
