Package: trn4
Version: 4.0-test76-15

trn4 has some kind of support for AUTHINFO GENERIC but it doesn't
implement the protocol as described in the original specification:
 http://ftp.nada.kth.se/pub/home/assar/nntp-hacks/GENERIC.FAQ

Specifically, it requires the authentication command and arguments to
be configured in ~/.trn/access rather than getting it from the
NNTPAUTH variable.  This means that trn4 needs configuring separately
from other newsreaders.  It's particularly inconvenient in the case
where the authentication setup (the NNTPAUTH value) varies (for
example, between different users on the same system).
