Subject: net.rc files
Unix has .netrc files which internet applications on unix systems can use to
automate connections to sites. Anywhere that asks for a user: and password:
can have an entry in one of these files. They're used when a user has
specific account identities and needs to use them to connect to different
sites because their information isn't available from the anonymous account.
The format of the file looks like this:
machine
garbo.uwasa.fi
user
runemage
password
door
Each entry starts with a machine line and has that form unless account is
present in which case it appears after password and is also followed by a
string. I'd like to know what the rest of the list thinks about having a
capability like this added to nettamer so that if a net.rc file is found and
in correct form it could be used by nettamer.
