In the authentication scheme it would be nice to be able to add a realm to
the userid portion of the userid... for authenticating in the servers
config... Example of what I'd like to do...
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Example: firewall proxy (no caching), one NNTP server, no local groups
# /* timeouts */
# host:port Interface Active Act.tim Newsgrp Group Xover Arts
userid@domain.net:passwd@news.server.com x.x.62.21 0 0 0 0 0 0
%BeginGroups
# Group pattern Host
* news.server.com
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
missing password in
nntpcache.servers:4:userid@domain.net:passwd@news.server.com 208.235.62.21
0 0 0 0 0 0
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
is what I get now...
I've taken the liberty of modifying the code as such in nntpcache.c
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/* if there's a @ in host there's a user and password */
hostname = username = password = NULL;
if ((hostname = strchr(host, '@')) != NULL)
{
if ((hostname = strchr(hostname+1, '@')) != NULL)
{
*(hostname++) = '\0';
}
else
{
hostname = strchr(host, '@');
*(hostname++) = '\0';
}
if ((password = strchr(host, ':')) != NULL)
*(password++) = '\0';
else
{
loge (("missing password in %s:%d: %s", file, n, buf));
continue;
}
username = host;
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It seems to work for the most part, but not as pretty as it could be I guess...
