At the moment it is just a pass-through system. The problem is that according to the RFC, is is possible for the news-server to demand authentication at ANY point in time (e.g when you go into a particular group). This is painful. Cheers, Julian -- "Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies, The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S.
