Problems getting private password protected group working

[Aaron Gray]

I am having issues getting private password protected groups working.

I have set my readers.conf file to the following :-
```
auth private {
    auth: "ckpasswd -s"
}
access private {
    users: "aaronngray"
    newsgroups: "private.*"
}
```

but Thunderbird is complaining "login to server
nntp.climateemergence.global with username aaronngray failed."

The password is definitely correct in both cases, but I am unable to
authenticate.

I tried using htdbm -cbB /usr/local/news/db/passwords aaronngray ********

and :-

auth private {
    auth: "ckpasswd -d /usr/local/news/db/passwords"
}

as well.

Hoping someone can point me in the right directions with this.

Aaron
