Not sure about the password, but MSN does some sort of NAT that is killing one of my co-workers VPN to work. It worked fine till they made the ill fated switch to MSN. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chicalinux" To: Sent: Tuesday, March 19, 2002 8:15 PM Subject: Email Password Authentication Issue Hi: I am having the following issue. I recently signed on with MSN Broadband DSL. They do not support Linux but thanks God and some good books I made it to work flawlessly. However, I do not have access to email/newsgroups because they use a method of secure authentication called "Secure Password Authentication" or something like that. It is not like CHAP/SSL. It is different and the email clients that I use do not support it: Kmail, Evolution, Sylpheed... I think it has something to do with the .net password authentication protocol. Do any of you guys know anything about this and if Linux has or is developing support for this? Any response will be greatly appreciated. I am so in the dark :-) Thanks, sarina ________________________________________________ See http://PLUG.phoenix.az.us/navigator-mail.shtml if your mail doesn't post to the list quickly and you use Netscape to write mail.
