+The valid tokens include @samp{machine}, @samp{login}, @samp{password},
+@samp{default}.  Gnus introduce two new tokens, not present in the
+original @file{.netrc}/@code{ftp} syntax, namely @samp{port} and
+@samp{force}.  (This is the only way the @file{.authinfo} file format
+deviates from the @file{.netrc} file format.) @samp{port} is used to
+indicate what port on the server the credentials apply to, @samp{force}
+is explained below.
