The password in the file is quoted and contains an escaped double quote. Something like this: machine example.org login testuser password "test\"password" port 12345 gnus fails with the following messages displayed in the *messages* buffer: auth-source-netrc-parse-entries: Unexpected 'machine' token at line 2 nnimap (example) open error: 'NO (AUTHENTICATIONFAILED) Authentication failed.'. Continue? (y or n) n The problem seems to be a faulty regexp in `auth-source-netrc-parse-one'. The following code run from a clean emacs 24.4 session shows the problem: (require 'auth-source) ;; The following should return "test\"password" but instead returns ;; "test\\" (with-temp-buffer (insert "\"test\\\"password\"\n") (goto-char (point-min)) (auth-source-netrc-parse-one)) The faulty regexp in `auth-source-netrc-parse-one' I am referring to is the following: ... (looking-at "\"\\([^\"]*\\)\"") ... My current workaround is to redefine `auth-source-netrc-parse-one' in my init file like this: (defun auth-source-netrc-parse-one () "Read one thing from the current buffer." (auth-source-netrc-parse-next-interesting) (unless (eobp) (let ((matched (if (= (following-char) ?\") (read (current-buffer)) (buffer-substring (point) (progn (skip-chars-forward "^\t\n ") (point)))))) (auth-source-netrc-parse-next-interesting) matched))) This definition is based on some code in `netrc-parse' from "net/netrc.el" (maybe it is possible to use this function in gnus instead?).

I've explained the situation in the auth.texi manual with this commit to gnus.git, which will be synchronized into Emacs as well: commit 01c75b7c8e4ecbdaea6dda97b113a76c60458620 Author: Ted Zlatanov Date: Sun Nov 2 15:45:34 2014 -0500 * auth.texi (Help for users): Explain quoting rules better. Background: the original netrc.el parser just used the Lisp reader. But that reader doesn't support single-quoted strings, which is the standard netrc format, so I modified the parser accordingly in gnus.git: commit 1474b920b7471e4bdb4f983b98fb767d61f8037b Author: Ted Zlatanov Date: Sat Jun 15 04:03:04 2013 -0400 auth-source netrc backend: Support single-quoted strings, multiline ent= ries. I've never seen passwords or other tokens with both single and double quotes, so IMO the current parser in `auth-source-netrc-parse-one' is sufficient. But I'm happy to take patches or demands for it to support some other style. Marking this bug as done, in any case.
