- Subject says it all. Is anyone working on a kerberized version of NNTP?
- I need some sort of authentication scheme built into NNTP to do user-level
- authorization for newsgroup access. NNTP currently only does host-level
- authentication and authorization. There are some hooks for user-level stuff,
- but I think it required passwords to be kept in clear text on each NNTP
- client.
-
- Anyone doing any work along this line?
