Well, I've since managed to get it working by using the following nntpcache.access line * * read,auth=user/pass;pipe * /etc/nntpok which lets /any/ user on the system log in - a less than desirable situation (/etc/nntpok just contains one line - 'klubnews' - the system user I want to use for remote reading) > Tried using the PAM support? Same result? The PAM support for NNTPCache > was developed under Debian 2.1. I've never really had any truck with PAM.. I generally try to use MySQL auth whenever possible... makes it a lot easier to manage :) What I'm saying is - I have no idea how to use PAM. Ideally all I want is a single user/pass combination that can then get news access from anywhere on the Net... gdh
