That's a cool idea, except you can't authenticate after initializing the connection. My fav' newsserver allows reading by all, but only posting after an AUTHINFO is sent. I thought about basing on PAM, but considering I don't even know how to use the darn thing, it'll have to wait for the next patch. ;) : And note that the FreshMeat entry : for sn does give this information...
