I've read the FAQ and searched the net but couldn't find the answers to the questions below - can anyone help me? 1) I want to set up nntpcache so that clients have to enter username/password to be able to access the cache server. In the nntpcache.access file it says that the AUTHINFO code has been disabled - is there any other way to force username/password validation or is the only way to control access via IP address? 2) I am trying to use the contributed app newshound. nntpcache works fine for pulling down messages, but when I try to run newshound as per the README file for the first time it says File :- /usr/local/var/nntpcache/hound.rf has 0 lines. Sorting array. Seg fault core dumped. /usr/local/var/nntpcache/hound.rf and /usr/local/var/nntpcache/hound.sf both exist but are zero bytes. Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong? OS Redhat Linux 6.2 nntpcache ver 2.2.3 Newshound ver 2.0 Many thanks in advance, Richard Hewitt
