Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.88e Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I've read news with lynx before, but now I'm trying to access a remote news server with a given username and password. After plugging these details into many different guesses about what the URL should look like (based on half understanding the spec) the best I can get is the polite refusal "Authentication required". Can anyone tell me exactly how to do this? It's possible that the server is down or no longer recognises my password, so guesses aren't much help. -- Regards, -*Sue*- find / -name "*.conf" |more To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
