Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 96896

(MailNews Core :: Networking: NNTP, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

I use a usenet server (news.cis.dfn.de) that requires a username and password to
use. When I used it for the first time, I entered in the username and password,
and ticked the box for Mozilla to save the username and password. However, it
seems to "forget" it at random intervals - I will just be browsing through a
usenet group, or changing to another group, and then suddenly it will throw up a
username and password prompt, even though it must already know them for me to
have read all the articles I have already read.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
Just read a few usenet articles, changing to different groups occasionally, and
eventually it will start prompting for a username and password.
Actual Results:  
Everything then carries on as normal. Though sometimes the problem will occur
more than once per session.

Expected Results:  
Keep the username and password saved so that I only have to enter them once.
