I got the server ok, my .authinfo file looks good, I've got my old customized .emacs file working. I'm stumped. Seems there's a variable somewhere I'm missing. The one that grabs the info in the ~/.authinfo file and uses it. Works ok on my other box, but not this one, despite same ver of linux and emacs. I'm even letting my dribble file run amok and saving it. What am I missing? Here's my .authinfo file: machine us.Usenet-News.net login notbob@pp.newsgroups.user password xxxxxxxx port 119 force yes Also, a seemingly related sympton is the fact I can get no new news once I have gnus working and want to get new unread articles using the g key. I have to log out and log back in to my nntp server. This despite having my nntp server indicated in my .bash files, /etc/nntpserver file, and my ~/.gnus.el file. Somehow, I suspect these two problems are related. What am I missing? nb
