[news.software.nntp] Authenticated NNTP

martin@iastate.edu (Calsyn Martin Robert) (06/04/91)

Has anyone `out there' done any work on authenticated nntp connections?
We are a large state university with 12,000+ computer accounts with nntp
access plus a large number of public-access microcomputers.  We operate
the MIT Kerberos V4 authentication software.  Has anyone done any work
with incorporating Kerberos (or any other) netwide user authentication
into the NNTP protocol?  Are there any emerging standards for nntp
authentication packets?
