Hi all!

One of my news providers requires a NNTP AUTH before any transactions can take
place.  Is there a way to pass a username and password on the bnntp command
line to that BBBS can grab news from those servers?

Also, it would be nice if we could predefine NNTP servers in bcfg and then
refer to those servers by number on the command line instead of specifying
multiple server addresses when we only need one.
