Well, I've tried 88.2 and trn still doesn't like it. The newgroup
command returns an error (syslog logs it as a 'crazy flow error').
In nntpcache.c:667 there is an '#ifdef 0' around the processing of
the newnews, newgroups, and xgtitle commands. This causes these to
fall through to the 'default' in the case statement which gives the
error message to the reader and to syslog. As a quick hack I took
out the ifdef and did a 'emitrn(".")' for that case. Trn now just
warns about being unable to get the groups but continues. If I knew
what the correct response was for no new groups I would use that
instead.
Would it be possible to change the connection logging to include
the IP address as well as the hostname, such as:
'connect from user@host.do.main(123.45.67.88)'
as I think I (and a few other people) have occaisional DNS slowness
that causes the 'connect from' to be empty, and an address would be
better than nothing.
