NNTP Authentication


NNTP Authentication

Some NNTP Servers support a feature allowing users to log in. This is often useful when the administrator does not want to run an open server, yet must service users whose IP address cannot be depended on. In order to log in, the client sends:



telnet news.foo.bar 119


AUTHINFO USER username
AUTHINFO PASS password


These 2 commands must be sent in sequence, and authenticate the user with the NNTP server.

NNTP is described in RFC977
