I don't use knode here (I've been a long-time pan user, and in fact use it
to read this list/group using gmane.org's list2news service), but that
sort of issue is generally server related and may be transient -- they'll
fix it. Otherwise, check your server's discussion group (most have one,
sometimes more than one, for local server related questions and
discussion) and/or status page, they may have it posted as an issue.
Also, check your servers subscription, perhaps yours is almost up, or your
server or login info got screwed up in knode's config or something.
As I don't run knode I don't know what troubleshooting/debug logging it
has available, but you might be able to either turn that on in the options
or run knode from a konsole window (or with STDOUT/STDERR redirected to a
file) and get debug info printed that way. You can also try running knode
--help in a konsole window to see if it has debug or logging related
commandline options you can turn on.
What you'd be looking for is the specific error the server is returning.
That might give you more info as to why you can't post.
Alternatively, it's possible to run a manual telnet session to the server,
debugging things that way, but that requires knowing a lot more about the
NNTP protocol and its commands than most folks know, so I wouldn't
recommend exploring the option unless you consider yourself quite
technically inclined. (IOW, people afraid of the command prompt or
hand-editing text-based config files are best forgetting this option
entirely, as it's clearly beyond their current and near-term reasonably
extended technical abilities.)
