Limiting User Access
Hand in hand with host access permission is user authentication.
If any of the permission keywords (READ, XFER, BOTH and POST) in
nntp_access
starts with an uppercase letter, then Changi queries the
connecting client for user authentication and validates the response
with entries found in a file named
user_access. In this case the client
must support the AUTHINFO protocol extension.
Changi may also use the system password file
etc\passwd to validate the
userid and its corresponding encrypted password. However, this option
is not available in the international release.
For further details, see the description of
user_access in the file format section.
