Correct, but to my understanding, NNTP only matches the data for authentication (using PAM, LDAP, etc.), just like SSH, most FTP, and other services. What I sent didn't mean that NNTP can't use authentication, but rather that Crayon was right in stating that NNTP doesn't track the users itself. I'll admit, though, that I could be wrong on this. Every once in a very great while, it's been known to happen. :-\ -- </Daniel P.
