That URL should not require a log-in. However, I'd agree that the problem is with Yahoo's RSS reader, not LiveJournal itself.

If you switch to Internet Explorer, you'll notice that you're not logged in. Likewise, your Yahoo 360 account is browsing from a different computer... some computer in the Yahoo 360 office. Since that computer isn't logged in, there is a problem. It's possible that you won't be able to convince the Yahoo 360 computer to log in so that you can read the protected posts. You'll have to give your username/password to Yahoo 360 and hope they use it correctly to log in. It's possible their computer isn't smart enough to log in. That's a feature that the Yahoo 360 people might (or might not) have built into their service.

Nevertheless, if I try to add http://www.livejournal.com/users/free_of_whip/data/rss?auth=digest to my Yahoo 360 feeds, I get an error message.

If you log out of your Livejournal account, you won't be able to see your posts. Remember that since your feed is Protected/Friends-only, you can see it in Firefox.

I know I'm using the right one, because it works as a bookmark on Firefox. But when I put it into my Yahoo 360 feeds, it mysteriously never shows anything.
