My weak nntpd (NNTP[auth] server version 1.5.12.1 (1 Jan 1995)) seems
not to support the active file feature. Yes, I should switch the nntpd
(no, I don't want INN; but I do need UUCP, with wihci leafnode isn't
able to deal with. Any hints?)
Until 0.98 it works setting
(setq gnus-read-active-file nil)
But this setting makes version 0.99 hang. Last message displayed:
nnml: Reading incoming mail from file...
nnml: Reading incoming mail (no new mail)...done [36 times]
If I set
(setq gnus-read-active-file t)
it also hangs, but after pressing C-g Gnus will retrieve my mails; in
this case it doesn't establish a connection to the nntpd.

Could you `(setq debug-on-quit t)' and send backtrace after pressing
`C-g'?

I've possibly fixed the hanging problem in Gnus 5.8 now. Please test
it again after upgrade.
If hanging happens again, please also send the content of buffer
" *nntp*". (note the space before *).

Using
(setq gnus-read-active-file nil)
it still hangs; setting this variable "t", it now works as it should.
since this is the setting I actually want to use, I'm happy :) (with
5.8.3 from CVS, approx. 1999-12-04 05:00 CET).

I'd like to help you to debug this case. Unfortunately, " *nntpd*" is
empty.
