        The IETF ID describing nntp authentication is:

   Linkname: draft-barber-nntp-news-00.txt
        URL:
   http://info.internet.isi.edu/in-drafts/files/draft-barber-nntp-news-00.txt


        All of the basic functions needed to support that are already in
Lynx, so it would make a nice project for someone.

        The project of adding proxy authentication also is outstanding.
