trn, nntplist, and Pnews uses ~/.nntpauth for authentification. Without the file, they are not able to connect to news server. However, via Solaris truss, I found that trn does: 17084: unlink("/opt/home/mwang/.nntpauth") = 0 after posting. I have to generate the file every time using trn. How do you resolve the problem? Is there a fix for it?
